Systems and methods for creating aerial messages

A system for producing aerial messages using a plurality of aircraft, the system comprising:

• a main computer configured to provide a user interface for use in producing aerial messages using a plurality of aircraft, wherein the main computer operates as a node on a wireless network to transmit data to and receive data from a plurality of controllers;
• a plurality of controllers, each controller designed to be located in one of the plurality of aircraft, wherein each controllers is a node on the wireless network and wherein each controllers is configured to process data received from the main computer;
• and
• a plurality of vapor puff creation systems, each vapor puff creation system designed to be located in one of the plurality of aircraft.

A system for creating aerial messages using a plurality of aircraft, the system comprising:

• a master controller, wherein the master controller is a node on a wireless local area network (LAN) and is configured to transmit data over the LAN to a plurality of slave controllers and to receive data from each of the plurality of slave controllers;
• and
• a plurality of slave controllers, each slave controller designed to be located in one of a plurality of aircraft, wherein each of the slave controllers is a node on the wireless LAN and is configured to receive data from and transmit data to the master controller;
• each of said slave controllers having at least one output control line for operating a vapor puff creation system;
• wherein the data transmitted by said master controller to said slave controller comprises instructions to control vapor puff creation systems and the data received from said plurality of slave controllers comprises status information.
