Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for providing an aerial display, comprising: a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles, each having a light means, a data store and an identifier; at least one base station which communicates with the aerial vehicles via a first data connection; and at least one control unit which can communicate indirectly with the aerial vehicles via the base station and directly via a second data connection. The method comprises the following steps: the mission data for the aerial vehicles is automatically loaded into the data store of an aerial vehicle by means of the base station via the first data connection; the identifiers, GPS data and the system status of a plurality of the aerial vehicles are retrieved and stored; the flight paths for the aerial vehicles are calculated on the basis of the GPS data and the first target position of each of the aerial vehicles; the flight route numbers are allocated to the aerial vehicles by the control unit; and after the start the entire mission is carried out autonomously in a synchronised manner by the aerial vehicles.
