Aquila Project, Facebook Made It!

We all know that Facebook is unstoppable nowadays, and it seems that is nothing impossible for them. You should have heard about internet.org project , it was launched on 2013 and their mission is to connect the world with internet, lately facebook has builded a solar powered drone called "Aquila" which will bring internet access in places where internet doesn't exist, and an important thing is that drone is able to fly for about 90 days. Facebook made it again,so let's see what's the next challenge for them...

Here is the video of Aquila's first flight.

Let's Discuss...

WOW.... And WOW again. This is really amazing and revolutionary idea which can bring internet to whole new level. Never heard of Aquila project so far, but after looking this video you shared it looks promising and i bet it will draw more ideas to bringing internet access to places far out. I am just curious what happen when Aquila fly away, people probably having internet access for only limited time while it's around, so what happen after? Is there going to be multiple planes like that to cover more territories without internet access? I bet, people without internet access is going to love it very much

Oh this is way cool, so there will soon be no such thing as no internet? This is the first time I have heard of the Aquila Project and it is very exciting.I can't believe that this drone is able to fly for about 90 days, technology is just racing ahead now isn't it?

So Facebook wants to make sure internet is available everywhere lol, way cool. No more excuses for not having a Facebook account!

Planes that fly for weeks, giving you wifi all over the place. Incredible. Just pure wow.
I wonder if this will ever take off above the "project" level. I would love to see drone playing that can fly for years on end, remind me of that ?drone from Interstellar.

Gee, this is wonderful if it is true. Can you imagine hiking in the boondocks and then you check your phone. Lo and behold, there is a signal. And you can access the internet on top of the mountain. I’m not saying that it is a quixotic project because it is expensive. But that pioneering act of providing internet access to remote areas is a noble act. I hope Google will follow that example and make the world a better place for internet users.
