Facebook's ultimate goal is to use these drones with massive wingspans to bring internet connectivity to areas without regular online access. Think of them as traveling, solar-powered internet hubs.
Facebook planned to add a brake or a spoiler after the crash in June, and the company now reportedly understands the importance of flying at a speed optimal for aircraft safety.
"Each successive test flight will bring both expected and unexpected technical challenges, and will teach us more about how to fly this experimental aircraft," Facebook Connectivity Lab leader Yael Maguire and director of aeronautical platforms Martin Gomez wrote in a post in December, after the National Transportation Safety Board issued its report on the crash.
"We intend to push the plane to its limits so we can learn more, learn faster, and reach our ultimate goal of connecting people sooner."
