It's called skytyping. It's more expensive than regular skywriting because it needs 5 planes but it's easier to read.

    i expected it to be like a long bar with exits you can open and close by computer and that way you could then control it.. isn't 5 planes a bit complicated?

    I thought so too but googling for it confirms they use 5 planes.

    First company to do it with a single plane towing a long bar will be able to undercut the competition.

    Or, unmanned drones.
