MC2 Post 1842 Google's Out of This World Ideas Take Wing




Google Buys Solar-Powered Drone company

The tech giant snaps up New Mexico-based Titan Aerospace, a startup that is developing unmanned, solar-powered jets designed to fly nonstop for years at a time.



Google on Monday announced the acquisition of Titan Aerospace for an undisclosed sum in a move that sees the technology giant enter the unmanned race for the skies.




Following Facebook's $20 million purchase of U.K.-based aerospace company Ascenta – which has been working on the development of unmanned, solar-powered aerial drones for the past few years – Google acted fast to usurp an expected bid by Facebook to also acquire Titan Aerospace.


The New Mexico-based company has been working on the development of solar-powered drones designed to fly unmanned and nonstop for years at a time – a technology Google hopes to utilize in order to extend its influence and reach across the most remote corners of earth.
