"Spirit of Flight" 400 Drone Show Takes Over Utah Tech Week by Illuminate Drones

Utah Tech Week always brings a certain energy to the local ecosystem, and this year in Springville, Illuminate Drones added a distinct visual element to the week of events.

On February 6th, 2026, hundreds of spectators watched as 400 drones performed a show titled "Spirit of Flight". The performance functioned as a chronological look at aviation, starting with the organic shapes of a pterosaur and moving through the geometric designs of Leonardo Davinci.

The show continued through the Wright brothers' first flyer, the silhouette of warplanes, and the familiar lines of commercial jets. The drones eventually pushed into the future with a spaceship before concluding with a formation centered on the Pixel drone.

This specific drone represents the current capabilities of Illuminate Drones, where hundreds of units operate in a single, coordinated system to create complex 3D imagery.

Technical precision is the foundation of these events. Illuminate Drones uses proprietary software to manage the logistics of large scale outdoor drone light shows, ensuring that every point of light is positioned exactly where it needs to be. For organizers planning festivals, sporting events, or large carnivals, this technology offers a reliable way to occupy the sky and provide a central attraction for attendees.

Illuminate Drones has a history of performing for high profile productions, including work with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. That same level of professional execution is applied to every performance, whether it is for a global tour or a local celebration in Springville. For venues looking to transition away from traditional entertainment, a drone show provides a modern alternative that is both scalable and repeatable.
