Far from the social networks continue to dominate with Facebook or buying apps to increase its strength on the web, one of the main objectives is Mark Zuckerberg is the take an Internet connection to all corners of the world, for different characteristics, do not have the capacity to connect to the network infrastructure.
To achieve this, Zuckerberg created in 2013 Internet.org, a non-profit organization whose primary objective is to bring the Internet to these areas of difficult access in the world through different and innovative strategies.
One of these plans is to equip drones enough technology to provide wireless Internet access to areas that the unmanned vehicle overflown .
In a posting on his Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg announced that just made the first tests with flying drones to start realizing this ambitious and exciting project.
The aircraft has been selected for this project has solar cells to capture energy, allowing him to fly more than 60,000 feet, about 18,000 meters about for several months. In terms of size, the drones are bigger than a Boeing 737 (almost 30 meters) but turn out to be lighter than a vehicle, according to information filed by the same Zuckerberg.
Result very interesting to see how Mark Zuckerberg is moving forward with this project, when it was announced, seemed pretty surreal but, over the months, has been taking shape until this first test flight will be the spearhead of this ambitious project.
