We demonstrate formation flying for drone swarm services. A set of drones fly in four different swarm formations. A dataset is collected to study the effect of formation flying on energy consumption. We conduct a set of experiments to study the effect of wind on formation flying. We examine the forces the drones exert on each other when flying in a formation. We finally identify and classify the formations that conserve most energy under varying wind conditions. The collected dataset aims at providing researchers data to conduct further research in swarm-based drone service delivery. Demo: https://youtu.be/NnucUWhUwLs

翻译：我们演示了无人机集群服务中的编队飞行技术。一组无人机以四种不同集群编队模式飞行，通过采集数据集研究编队飞行对能耗的影响。我们开展了一系列实验探究风力对编队飞行的作用，分析了无人机在编队飞行过程中相互施加的力学影响，最终识别并分类了不同风况下最具节能效果的编队构型。所采集的数据集旨在为研究人员开展基于集群的无人机服务投递研究提供基础数据支撑。演示视频：https://youtu.be/NnucUWhUwLs
