How do drones in drone shows manage to calibrate their positions so precisely?

Surely they can’t be using GPS for positions just a few feet apart.

Also, how quickly can they respond to wind and such?

Each of them has a little onboard computer that is able to adjust for things like the breezes and what not.

So they all fly a preprogrammed course, with just a little bit of individual individual judgment given to each machine based on variation and things like wind.

And realistically, a large enough wind would screw that up. Which is why these drone shows tend to occur in places like football stadiums where there is some degree of protection.
