Drones today enable more creative projects. And Allumee creatively exploits all the artistic potential drones for develop light shows. These shows feature hundreds of synchronized drones and require a careful preparation. You will find on our site the different types of animations possible just like the price of a drone show.

THE first attempts drone creation took place during the First World War with prototypes developed as early as 1916 by Archibald Low in Great Britain. But it was in 1917 than in France, Max Boucher really sets the date drone invention, on July 2, 1917 to be exact. It is fly your “Voisin” plane without a pilot over 500 meters and 50 meters from the ground. The invention of the drone is done!

The development of drones is intrinsically linked to military needs of the 20th century, marked by the two world wars. During the First World War, the warring nations sought ways to improve their capabilities reconnaissance of enemy terrain while minimizing risks for pilots. Collect essential information, carry out missions observation, reduce human losses. It is in this context of strategic requirements that the first drone experiments see the light of day.

Standards for the sign design and application of the signs shown here as well as for other traffic control devices are contained in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Dimension drawings for signs can be found in the Standard Highway Signs book. Both of these books are available in electronic format online at https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov. This web site also contains information on standard lettering used on highway signs and pavement markings and on highway sign color specifications.

The advent of sophisticated drones and now more affordable, transforms their use in the civil world. They become essential tools for the aerial shots, used by photographers, filmmakers, but also the civil surveillance during demonstrations for example. At the same time, drones are finding their place in various fields such as infrastructure inspection, there environmental monitoring and particularly forest fires and even the parcel delivery or of drugs in some inaccessible areas. A more peaceful use!

To UNITED STATES, Elmer Ambrose Sperry and his son Lawrence Sperry have played a crucial role in the innovation of drones. With the inventor Peter Cooper Hewitt, they developed devices for automatic stabilization for aircraft, altitude and distance calculation systems. The project “Hewitt-Sperry automatic airplane” aimed to create an unmanned aircraft capable of autonomous flight, but above all capable of carrying an explosive charge to a specific location.

Hard copies of the MUTCD can be purchased from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (http://www.aashto.org); the Institute of Transportation Engineers (http://www.ite.org); the American Traffic Safety Services Association (http://www.atssa.com); and the US Government Printing Office (http://www.gpo.gov). The Standard Highway Signs book can be purchase from the US Government Printing Office and the American Traffic Safety Services Association through the web sites listed above.

Today, drones are no longer the preserve of the military. They are become versatile tools, accessible to a wide audience. They have also established themselves as a popular leisure for individuals, certainly with very basic technology. However, their use is strictly regulated by specific regulations.

Roadway signs in the United States increasingly use symbols rather than words to convey their message. Symbols provide instant communication with roadway users, overcome language barriers, and are becoming standard for traffic control devices throughout the world. Familiarity with symbols on traffic signs is important for every road user in order to maintain the safety and efficiency of our transportation facilities.

At Allumee, there are only military personnel left this organizational precision. Like stealth planes, our drones have become festive. We are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation to offer ever stronger shows, where art and technology for the greatest happiness of his spectators.

The color of roadway signs is an important indicator of the information they contain. The use of red on signs is limited to stop, yield, and prohibition signs. A white background indicates a regulatory sign; yellow conveys a general warning message; green shows permitted traffic movements or directional guidance; fluorescent yellow/green indicates pedestrian crossings and school zones; orange is used for warning and guidance in roadway work zones; coral is used for incident management signs;** blue indicates road user services, tourist information, and evacuation routes; and brown is for guidance to sites of public recreation or cultural interest.

Drones are becoming more sophisticated thanks to advances in the field electronics and of communication. They are then used for the extended surveillance, espionage and the information collection. Applications remain primarily focused on the defense, drones becoming a tactical component essential. Strategy always!

THE origins of the drone are closely related to the military needs from the beginning of the 20th century. One of the first pioneers of this technology is Achibald Low, engineer British often referred to as "father of the drone". Low has developed a machine capable of flying without a human pilot, controlled remotely by means of radio waves. The "Aerial Target"  was intended to serve as a flying target for training gunners.

Sign shape can also alert roadway users to the type of information displayed on a sign. Traffic regulations are conveyed in signs that are rectangular with the longer direction vertical or square. Additional regulatory signs are octagons for stop and inverted triangles for yield. Diamond-shaped signs signify warnings. Rectangular signs with the longer direction horizontal provide guidance information. Pentagons indicate school zones. A circular sign warns of a railroad crossing.

At Allumee, specialist in drone shows, we see the drone as a tool for artistic creation. However, the history of the drone is marked by much less festive beginnings. This is why we invite you today to discover the fascinating evolution of this technology. The invention of the drone, from its utilitarian origins to its current role as an instrument of entertainment and wonder.

**The use of coral for incident management signs was anticipated for inclusion in the 2003 edition of the MUTCD at the time of this printing.

Used primarily for military purposes, their main role was in observation, there monitoring, there acknowledgement. Thanks to their ability to fly without a pilot, drones could fly over dangerous areas And transmit vital information on enemy positions. Over time, drones have evolved to fulfill other still military functions, such as the missile guidance. We will see, later in the article, that its functions then became more oriented towards leisure.

In France, Max Boucher, a military pilot, is recognized for his significant contributions to development of unmanned aviation. He has carried out innovative tests. The ancestor of the drone had a wingspan of 15 meters, a length of 10 meters and weighed 500 kg… The first successful flight of some hundreds of meters reinforced Max Boucher in this path, the interest of which he had identified. His objective: to create a machine capable of reconnaissance missions without risking the lives of soldiers.

The evolution of computer technologies and reduced production costs make drones accessible for of new uses. In addition to military reconnaissance missions, drones are beginning to be used for security missions. research and of rescue, of environmental monitoring and for the aerial photography. A new vision of the field!
