The wingspan of the aircraft reaches 50 meters, it can not only carry telecommunications equipment, but also carry out aerial photography area.
Bloomberg reported with reference to a report made public in November, Google, as the tests of aircraft Titan Aerospace accident occurred. In particular, the first of May, after take-off from an improvised airfield in the desert region of New Mexico, one of the flying machines had problems with the remote control.
