As the price of small UAVs is getting cheaper and its controllability is getting greatly increased, many aerial applications using both fixed-wing and hoverable UAVs have appeared in recent years. In this paper, a new aerial advertising method is proposed using four hoverable UAVs. Using the UAV swarm control method, four UAVs are maneuvered to carry a $7.07{\times}7.07m^2$ square banner along collision-free and predefined waypoints for aerial advertising. According to simulation results, it takes about 270 s for UAVs to perform aerial advertising in $669{\times}669m^2$ size area and the minimum distance among UAVs turns out to be 0.45 m which proves there is no any collision. Due to abrupt direction changes of UAVs along the predefined waypoints, UAVs cannot always maintain exact square formation and it results the maximum and minimum side lengths of square formation to be 10.35 m and 1.96 m, respectively. Also, the maximum and minimum diagonal lengths of square formation turn out to be 14.75 m and 2.78 m, respectively.

Shipping related services is attracting attention as a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) application with the recent economy has been generally accepted drones. UAV of the existing military-driven logistics delivery, aerial photography, wireless Internet connection, broadcasting, disaster research, digital maps, transportation, advertising, meteorological, border surveillance, agricultural use, such as hobbies range of uses from up military are diverse and growing. The advantage of delivery drones seems to be an important feature of delivery of the goods, including labor-saving, long-distance transportation in cold weather. UAV is demanded by competitive performance development for commercialization. Privacy issues that may arise during the drone operation, ensuring marketability issues, control system, regulations, operational standards and specifications, etc. should be addressed. Development direction of Korea UAV based in current technology, regulation, and growth potential presented by deriving from the idea of 'GIF 2016 Gang-won Hackathon.
