Hey L.A. Drones, can you build Flying, Drone Driven Pteranodons for Jurassic World the Ride Opening at Universal Studios Hollywood?

Yes, probably, we mean definitely yes.  We can and we will.

L.A. Drones was humbled to work alongside legendary Experiential Marketing Agency – HELO, working with David and Goliath, all in support for their client, Universal Studios Hollywood.

This build was more art / fabrication focused, so it did not have as much robotics, which it made it the most challenging yet.

Propellors and wings working together have been a pursuit of man since the time of Leonardo Da Vinci.  One wants to thrust up, and the other wants to ride the wind.  Building aerodynamic wings with a propellor element was something we believed we could do, and wanted to test ourselves in a way never thought possible.

This win goes to our incredible team.  L.A. Drones executed every phase of this project, from ground cinematography to aerial FPV footage in front of the Hollywood sign.
