On June 28, 2016, the company's Aquila drone, which may one day connect remote areas of the globe to the Internet, was said to have suffered a "structural failure" upon the landing from its first test flight.
And now, results from the National Transportation Safety Board's investigation are in. Just five seconds before the drone crash landed, a gust of wind lifted it above its expected landing path and the autopilot was unable to correct, causing the drone to incur “substantial damage.”
