Sky-Display®

The sky becomes the stage

The first high-resolution, flying LED display for events, festivals and brands

With a display of around 100 m², visual content is created that appears freely in the sky—lifelike, attention-grabbing and visible from afar.

Create moments your audience will film, share, and remember.

Uniquely certified across Europe • Developed by EXOFIRE

Defy Gravity, Display the Impossible

Sky Display is a new generation of visual productions for premium events, festivals, and brand activations.

In an era where classic effects like LED walls, pyro, lasers, or even drone shows are becoming increasingly familiar, it is becoming more difficult to generate genuine attention. Many visual concepts appear interchangeable and no longer reach the audience with the same intensity as before.

Sky Display opens up a new visual dimension and transforms the sky into a dynamic stage. This creates impressive moments that your audience not only experiences but also films, shares, and remembers long-term.

A world first in event staging

The Sky Display developed by EXOFIRE is a high-resolution LED display of around 100 m², carried by a drone and presenting visual content freely in the airspace.

Thanks to its almost transparent design, the system remains invisible in the dark.

This makes the displayed content appear as if it were floating freely in the sky—realistic, clearly visible, and even discernible from a great distance.

Unlike traditional drone shows, which consist of many individual light points, Sky Display enables the presentation of coherent, detailed content with significantly higher visual impact.

Developed for professional use

The development of this system is based on several years of intensive work.

Over a period of almost three years, numerous prototypes were developed, tested, and continuously optimized to create a reliable, practical system.

A key element was the official approval. After a certification process of more than a year, closely coordinated with various authorities—especially the state aviation authority—the system was successfully cleared for operation.

EXOFIRE is currently the only provider in Europe that possesses the necessary authorization to deploy this system in real event operations.

Real Case: Brand Activation Demo

Applications

Sky Display is particularly suited for events where visual impact, differentiation, and attention are paramount.

Especially at festivals and concerts, it creates large-scale visual highlights that audiences capture and share on social media.

The system also offers new opportunities for brand activations, enabling brands to be showcased in a way that clearly stands out from traditional campaigns and leaves a lasting impression.

In the corporate and premium segment, Sky Display enables exceptional experiences that convey innovation and exclusivity and deliver lasting added value to events.

At the same time, in the nightlife and show sector, it enhances existing visual concepts with an additional, attention-grabbing layer and creates new creative possibilities that go beyond traditional staging.

SkyDisplay vs. Classic Drone Show

SkyDisplay

  • Approx. 80,000 pixels (real, moving video image)
  • Clear display of videos, logos, text, and 3D visuals
  • High level of detail—comparable to an LED wall in the sky

Classic drone show

  • Typically 50–1,000 light points (drones)
  • Point-based representation
  • Usually only highly abstract shapes possible
  • No real video sequences

SkyDisplay

  • Significantly more efficient in terms of visual impact
  • No swarm of individual drones required
  • Scalable without exponential additional costs

Classic drone show

  • High costs due to 300–1,000+ individual drones
  • Complex programming
  • Extensive logistics and safety measures

SkyDisplay

  • Realistic 3D objects
  • Dynamic motion visuals
  • Film sequences in the air
  • Clear brand and product presentation

Classic drone show

  • Light formations
  • Limited visual complexity
  • No moving images in the traditional sense

SkyDisplay

  • 1 drone
  • 1 operator + 1 safety officer

  • Quick deployment readiness <15 min.

Classic drone show

  • Typically 50–1,000 light points (drones)
  • Point-based representation
  • Usually only highly abstract shapes possible
  • No real video sequences

Sky Display

  • Flight time of approx. 20–25 minutes per deployment
  • Quick battery changes possible within seconds
  • Multiple slots per evening can be flexibly implemented
  • Optional operation via stationary solutions (e.g., crane or building installation) with virtually unlimited runtime
  • Reduced coordination effort and simple integration into existing event workflows

Classic drone shows

  • Also limited flight time per show
  • Battery replacement for large drone fleets is time-consuming and logistically complex
  • High coordination and alignment effort
  • Longer preparation times between individual shows
  • Multiple deployments on the same evening are only possible to a limited extent

SkyDisplay

  • True moving images
  • Product launches in true-to-life appearance
  • Trailers, campaigns, animations
  • Live content possible

Classic drone show

  • Storytelling only via changes in shape/color
  • No film sequences possible
  • Limited brand staging

A new technology with limited availability

Sky Display is currently in an early phase and is only available for a limited number of productions.

For event organizers, brands, and agencies, this presents the opportunity to adopt a new form of visual staging at an early stage and clearly differentiate themselves from the competition.
