Τhis video shows tethered quadrocopters flying steadily together at high speeds exceeding 50 km/h in a confined space. With the tether exerting more than 13 gs of centripetal force, multiple quadrotors are able to fly 1.7m- radius circular trajectories in formation across different orientations in space and then successfully perform a coordinated braking maneuver.
This research was conducted at the Flying Machine Arena at ETH Zurich, read more on Robohub.

Great work, certainly reminds us of how slow human reactions are in relation to computers.
wow, that is impressive... Nice work !
