Learn more about the aquila plane started dreaming Mark Zuckerberg delivering the Internet to the world

Ambitious Mark Zuckerberg the founder of the network Facebook and its CEO did not stop at its inception to the largest social network in the world, but is the largest. After joining Facebook Organization internet.org the year 2013 - which seeks to bring the Internet to all the world, and to improve service and reduce costs in areas that link them - Facebook and the company promised in 2014 that it will lead the internet for all the world's people. and that means working on the development of the company, are the drones, which fired them aquila name.

What are the features of this plane? What is the technique adopted by?

Plane characterized Aquila size of the enormous wings (141 feet), which exceeds the length of a transport plane passenger boeing 747 (113 feet) without the tail, with cells Solar and four high-efficiency engines, allowing it to fly less very little depleted energy effort (about 2000 watts), a the energy needed to run three hairdressers hair, made of carbon fiber and weighs about 900 pounds, and the goal is to make flying for 90 consecutive days as less duration at an altitude of more than sixty thousand feet, the closest of the Earth from the satellite, enabling it to give a stronger signal.

What technology is adopted?

In order to deliver the Internet through the plane aquila it will use laser technology which is infrared invisible flicker of billions of times a second continuously, the same speed fiber optic data transfer.

The accuracy of this radiation could hit target the size of a small coin from the more than 10 miles distance.

Goal that the plane creating connections on the perimeter of a radius of 50 km for a period of not less than 90 days to transmit the signal to the people in the target area. This signal will be sent small towers will convert it to a network wi-fi or LTE network that people can receive on their devices.

In order to make the project successful company Facebook rely on engineers and specialists physics and dynamic aerobic and programmers are considered to be the elite in their field and some of them who has worked with the US space agency, NASA, and some others in companies like Ascenta which is one of the largest companies and best known in the field of manufacture of aircraft that operate energy solar.
aquilqa has undergone the first tests on 21 July 2016 in one day the state of Arizona, where he was testing a goal to take off safely and then fly and remain stable in the air for 30 minutes, but the results were successful more than they expected all decided the team left it aloft for 96 minutes.
