American ingenuity has been long and rightly celebrated for what it’s brought to us and how our freedom makes it possible. A timely example of same is how drones are being creatively used to replace fireworks this Fourth of July.
Fireworks have been impacted by supply chain and transportation issues, making them significantly more expensive this year. Moreover, in many parts of the American West that have been ravaged by wildfires, the risk of fireworks shows is just too great a risk to public safety.
What to do? Many cities have replaced their fireworks displays with fleets of drones (2 min video) programed to present a visual, safe, and cost-effective tribute in the night sky to the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave (a great example of innovation by using a new technology to satisfy an old need).
