Encounter a strong gust of Facebook drone crash accident investigation

According to foreign media reports, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said in a report released on Friday that Facebook's giant Internet drone Aquila had an accident on June 28 this year. The Aquila drone attempted to crash when landing at the Yuma flight verification site in Arizona. According to the report, the drone encountered strong gusts during the flight and the structure of the right wing failed. Although no one was injured, the drone was "seriously damaged."

According to the National Transportation Safety Board, strong gusts prevented the drone from maintaining a proper angle of decline, and because of the error in the autopilot software, the wing was broken when the drone approached the ground. The National Transportation Safety Board also stated that the special design of the drone resulted in insufficient drone resistance, which prevented it from slowing down quickly.

Facebook said in a blog post on Friday: "The autopilot can't track both the airspeed and the glideslope when the aircraft is landing. It prioritizes tracking the glideslope without limiting airspeed." Facebook said that future drones The design will increase the spoiler and the speed reducer to increase drag when landing.


The Aquila drone is a solar drone. Facebook wants to provide a network to people around the world who can't reach the Internet, and plans to use the drone to transmit data over the laser, covering the ground area within 60 miles, and it can stay in the air for 60-90 days.
