Advances in drone technology and the software that controls them have paved the way for a growing number of tech companies to offer services for such shows.

Flying machines, which produce zero smoke or other pollutants, are seen by a growing number of event organizers as a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to fireworks displays. Drones are also quieter than fireworks; This can make shows more enjoyable for audiences and less disruptive to nearby communities and wildlife in the area.
