For the second consecutive year, AERAS' drones were hard at work ensuring that Churchill Downs was as clean and safe as possible to welcome 147,294 fans to the most exciting two minutes in sports. The Derby returned to full capacity with jubilant crowds, as AERAS used its patented charged-electrostatic drones to sanitize the exterior seating area and its innovative drone technology to power wash exterior portions of the racetrack.
