Ngokwengxelo epapashwe kungabikho ngaphantsi UMark Zuckenbert, CEO yeFacebook, inkampani iqhube ngempumelelo uvavanyo lokuqala lwentsimi Iprojekthi yeAkwila. Njengesikhumbuzo, xelela ukuba le projekthi yindlela le ngxilimbela yemidiya yoluntu ifuna ngayo ukubonelela nge-intanethi phantse kuyo yonke iplanethi, ngakumbi kwezona ndawo zikwanti kwaye zinamathuba ambalwa okufikelela.
Ukufezekisa oku, iprojekthi ye-Aquila iphuhlise uthotho lwee-drones zelanga ezinamaphiko azinzileyo ngokuzimela okukhulu kunye nokukwazi ukubhabha kwiindawo eziphakamileyo ezahlukileyo phakathi kwe-18.000 kunye ne-28.000 yeemitha. Ngoku, nangona amandla ayo engothusi, ukuphakama kwawo kukwangoko sithetha ngedrone kabani Iphiko lamaphiko lifana kakhulu nenqwelo moya yeBoeing 737 enobunzima obujikelezileyo Iikhilogram ezi-400.
I-Facebook inethemba lokuba, ekuphakameni komsebenzi, iidrones zabo ziya kuba nakho ukubhabha zingaphazanyiswa iinyanga ezintathu.
Ngokumalunga neemvavanyo ezenziweyo, xelela ukuba kunxibelelwano lokuqala emhlabeni, iqela elijongene nophuhliso lwale projekthi kuvavanye ukuthembeka kolwakhiwo kunye nokusebenza kwesixhobo. Njengeenkcukacha, kuba zininzi iindaba ezithetha ngokwenzeka okanye hayi ngeprojekthi kwaye ngakumbi malunga neemvavanyo ezenziweyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, zikuxelele ukuba ibilixesha lokuqala ukusebenzisa imodeli epheleleyo iimvavanyo zangaphambili zazenziwe ngeedrones kwisikali se-1: 5.
Okokugqibela, ndikuxelele ukuba, ngokweqela lophuhliso lweprojekthi, a ukuphakama okuphantsi Inkqubo yahlala iqhubeka emoyeni Imizuzu ye96, ixesha eliphindaphindwe kathathu kuqikelelo. Nje ukuba iidrones zifikelele kubude obusebenzayo, kulindeleke ukuba zikwazi ukuhlala ezindizeni zingaphazanyiswa iinyanga ezintathu ubuncinci, ixesha eliya kuthi laphule irekhodi lendiza ende ende kunye nenqwelomoya engamiselwanga, okwangoku, zimbini iiveki.
