​Facebook's plan to bring the entire world online using a solar-powered, internet beaming aircraft has taken another step forward, with the company testing its Aquila drone for the second time.

​​Following the first full-scale testing of its solar-powered Aquila drone back in July, Facebook described the event as a success. Well, turns out that wasn't entirely true, with the aircraft coming a cropper on the landing.

Facebook has announced plans to launch a satellite into space next year designed to beam internet down to millions of people in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Mark Zuckerberg's plans to connect the entire world with internet carrying drones appear one step closer to reality. The Facbeook CEO today revealed that his Internet.org initiative has put the aircraft to the test for the first time, describing the operation as a success.
