The drone \u201clanded perfectly,\u201d on the landing site, says company.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Facebook\u2019s Aquila drones are being tested to eventually provide internet connectivity to parts of the world, and these are solar powered drone. In the blogpost, Facebook has listed out some of the changes they made to Aquila, and these include \u201cspoilers\u201d to the wings to increase drag and reduce lift during the landing approach.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook has also added \u201chundreds of sensors\u201d to the Aquila drone in order to collect more data, and modified the autopilot software, and used new radios for communication. Facebook\u2019s Aquila drone had a normal takeoff and a climb rate of 180 feet per minute, which was twice of what the first flight saw.<\/p>\n<p>The Aquila drone managed to climb to 3,000 feet. Facebook says this flight was to collect data, which will be used to \u201crefine our aerodynamic models, which help us predict the energy usage and thus optimize for battery and solar array size.\u201d Facebook\u2019s Aquila Drone is part of the Internet.org project, which aims to bring internet connectivity across the world.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2016, it was reported that Facebook Aquila drone had crash landed earlier because of strong winds, which had confused the autopilot system. Facebook had announced the first successful flight of Aquila in July 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually the goal with Aquila drones is to have these flying at a height of 60,000 feet in the atmosphere, and these will stay airborne for months. A large network of Aquila drones will communicate with each other via lasers, and beam down Internet from the sky. Facebook flew the full scale version of Aquila for the first time in July 2016, and was only testing with scaled models earlier.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of design, Aquila has a wingspan wider than a Boeing 737, and is made of carbon fiber composite, and weighs less than 453 kgs. Facebook plans to make these planes even lighter in the future.<\/p>\n<p>For all the latest <a href=\"http:\/\/indianexpress.com\/section\/technology\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Technology News<\/a>, download <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.indianexpress.android&amp;hl=en\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Indian Express App<\/a><\/p>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00a9 IE Online Media Services Pvt Ltd\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMore Related News \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/technology\/social\/facebook-crosses-2-billion-monthly-users-and-it-has-a-video-for-you-4726324\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mdpair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/facebook-video-759.jpg\" alt=\"Facebook crosses 2 billion monthly users and it has a video for\u00a0you\" \/><\/figure>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFacebook crosses 2 billion monthly users and it has a video for you\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/india\/ec-partners-facebook-to-launch-nationwide-voter-registration-campaign-from-july-1-4-4725955\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mdpair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/iran-polls759.jpg\" alt=\"EC partners Facebook to launch nationwide voter registration campaign from July\u00a01-4\" \/><\/figure>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEC partners Facebook to launch nationwide voter registration campaign from July 1-4\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t \t\t\t \t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMost Read<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/tabu-ajay-devgn-golmaal-again-is-responsible-for-my-single-status-i-hope-he-repents-and-regrets-this-4727599\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mdpair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/ajay-devgn-tabu-759.jpg\" alt=\"Tabu is single and Ajay Devgn is responsible for it, she hopes he repents and regrets this\" \/><\/a> \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/box-office-collection\/tubelight-box-office-collection-day-7-salman-khan-film-4728111\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mdpair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/salman-khan-sohail-khan-tubelight-7591.jpg\" alt=\"Tubelight box office collection day 7: Salman Khan film earns Rs 100 crore, makes a new record\" \/><\/a> \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/box-office-collection\/tubelight-box-office-collection-day-6-salman-khan-film-drops-4726412\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mdpair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/salman-khan-75918.jpg\" alt=\"Tubelight box office collection day 6: Salman Khan film crashes, sees a 50% drop\" \/><\/a> \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Best of Express<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/business\/economy\/gst-rollout-80-per-cent-items-within-18-per-cent-to-benefit-honest-taxpayer-says-revenue-secy-4729557\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"GST rollout: 80 per cent items within 18 per cent bracket;
