Facebook patents a drone that uses kites to stay afloat in the air for longer

Firstpost  

Facebook has filed a patent for a drone that could stay afloat in the air with the help of two kites. The concept, named as “dual-kite aerial vehicle” included the use of two kites tethered together so that they can stay in the air at two different altitudes at the same time. This move clearly shows Facebook’s interest in developing drones and it is not unexpected as we have seen Facebook working on Project Aquila earlier. Recently, we also had a report which stated that Facebook has joined hands with leading aeronautics firm Airbus to test similar drones in Australia which hints that we might hear about Facebook drones soon.
