Facebook's solar-powered internet drone takes flight
Facebook said on Thursday it had completed a successful test flight of a solar-powered drone that it hopes will help it extend internet connectivity to every corner of the planet. Aquila, Facebook's lightweight, high-altitude aircraft, flew at a few thousand feet for 96 minutes in Yuma, Arizona, Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a post on his Facebook page. The company ultimately hopes to have a fleet of Aquilas that can fly for at least three months at a time at 60,000 feet and communicate with each other to deliver internet access.
There are still a lot of technical challenges that need to be addressed for us to achieve the whole mission.

Facebook, which has more than 1.6 billion users, has invested billions of dollars in getting more people online, both through an initiative called internet.org - which offers a pared-down version of the internet to poor areas - and by building drones.

Günümüzde teknoloji epey gelişti ancak hala Dünya üzerinde internetin ulaşamadığı pek çok nokta var.Çeşitli telekom firmaları farklı lokasyonları internet erişimine açmak için birçok farklı yöntem deniyorlardı.Bu firmaların içerisinde öyle bir firma vardı ki çalışmaları hep aynı doğrultuda devam ediyordu.Bu konuda adından çokça söz ettiren Facebook sistemin neredeyse sonuna geldi.
Firmanın geliştirdiği insansız hava aracı farklı lokasyonlar üzerinde uçarak internet erişimi dağıtmaya hazır.Güneş enerjisi ile çalışan bu araç sayesinde internet erişimi olmayan noktalar da hızlı bir şekilde internete girebilecek.
Facebook sinirli şekilde bir bumerang tasarımına sahip droneun çalışabilmesi için bir lazer işaretleme parçasına gerek duyduklarını ve bunu da en kısa sürede üreteceklerini belirtti.
