Google is going to launch its new solar-powered drone program officially, which is called Project Titan by sending its first fleet in the sky in this year.
At Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, Google’s senior VP Sundar Pichai who oversees the Google Apps, Android, and Chrome stated that, the company is currently working on 3 programs aimed to connecting 4 billion people in the world without the Internet access currently.
He said Project Titan will fly a lightweight Solar powered airplane, which serves as a remote satellites. This Titan has been acquired by Google in 2014, these drone will supply connectivity in certain areas. Areas affected by natural disasters can also get connectivity using this solar drone.
Pichai said project loon was crazy idea, and those balloons are bigger in size. Project Titan is in the stage where project Loon was two years ago. Project Blank was started one year ago by Google, it’s a third program and its aim is to bring connectivity to rural and urban area in the world. Pichai said, Google is building a fiber network and work with local providers to provide 4G Services around the world.
He finally concluded that, big companies like Facebook and it’s Internet.org are planning to get more access to the web by people in remote areas is a strong and important step.

Though many people immediately associate unmanned drones with military use,they have incredible potential to be used in a wide variety of peaceful and scientific applications. In addition to delivering supplies to disaster-stricken areas, drones could be used to gather information about things like weather and wildlife.

really nice blog, new ideas are comming up, lightweight solar cells will harvest the power of the sun during daylight, while it will rely on battery power to keep its two propellers turning during the night.
Thank you for the information.

Great information. nice blog. Titan Aerospace is currently developing a drone
named Solara 50 that is being hailed as an “atmospheric satellite”
and has quite a lot to offer in terms of gathering scientific data.

Google’s solar powered drone is a great project. Their another project Loon also uses solar cells and a battery storage device as the only sole source powering its balloons.

It’s a brilliant idea, solar panels on a drone so it doesn’t need a battery. Without a battery, you could fly a drone as long as the sun keeps shining. Thanks for the blog
