Aircraft to provide Internet service
Aircraft to provide Internet service
Angel Technologies, a St. Louis company plans to provide high- speed Internet access in an unusual way: using solar-powered, high-altitude manned aircraft built to cruise at 51,000 feet, or more than 10,000 feet higher than the altitudes normally reached by commercial jets. Under Angel's plan, the aircraft would beam high-speed Internet service to customers in large cities, who would receive it on small cone-shaped antennas.
