SKYWRITING: an advertising medium in which airplanes spell out names and slogans in the sky by means of the controlled emission of thick smoke. A technique first developed (1922) by J. C. Savage, an English aviator. Letters are a mile high and a mile wide. They are formed by the movements of skywriting airplanes equipped with the smoke-emitting systems. Exhaust heat is used to turn a special mix of paraffin oil into thick white smoke, which is discharged through the exhaust system. The "skywriting" is done at heights at 10,000 to 15,000 ft and is best only in cloudless skies in which there is light to moderate wind. Writings are commonly made for skywriting over a designated area, e.g., a racetrack, fair, beach, or concert, and for a specified day and time. Skytyping, is a more modern form of skywriting, involves the use of five to seven planes. They fly parallel to each other in formation and equidistant courses as nearly in perfect unison as possible. The message is arranged on a master computer, and as the planes fly in line, electronic signals emit the smoke.

Skywriting FAQ's

How Many Letters Can We Do While Skywriting?

Single skywriting aircraft capabilities depend on the size of our smoke oil tanks. Usually up to 12 letters or characters. 30 gallon tanks at 2-3 gallons per letter. 6 Plane digital skywriting formations can skywrite up to 30 letters.

How High Do We Do Skywriting?
TRADITIONAL SKYWRITING - Accomplished with a single airplane flying through the sky to form letters. The white smoke is emitted like writing across the sky is composed of a special combination of oils, which is emitted through the plane’s exhaust system. The average skywriting message can be up to eight characters long.

DIGITAL SKYWRITING (SM) - Five airplanes! They fly parallel in line in as perfect unison as possible. The skywriting message to be written is loaded onto a computer, and as the planes fly, electronic signals trigger the smoke-emission mechanism in each plane to release the smoke accordingly. Digital Skywriting is executed by a number of planes that coordinate to print different segments of the message. Every five seconds new letters or logos are finished. The average message is up to thirty (30) characters long and can stretch four to six miles long.

How Long Does Skywriting Last In The Sky?

That is going to depend on mother nature. Winds are our nenesis. With no winds, skywriting is visible until the earth rotates away from the writing, about an hour or so. If winds are strong, visibility of the skywriting can vary from a seconds to 5-10 minutes.

How Much Does It Cost Do Skywriting Message?

Skywriting starts at $3,500.00 for a single writing, plus any ferry fees to move aircraft into your desired location. Multiple writings per day can be discounted depending on location. For clients looking to do a personal message via skywriting, average cost to skywrite a personal message is $8,500.00 based on travel of one of the few aircraft that are located in the USA. If your budget is less than this, please look into a aerial banner flight.
