Abstract
An example system for racing aircraft systems includes: a plurality of autonomous synchronized unmanned aircraft systems configured to form a swarm at a race course through which the aircraft systems are to navigate; and a controller configured to be operatively coupled to at least one unmanned aircraft system of the swarm, the controller configured to control the swarm to form an element of the race course.
