The project, called SkyOrbiter , is similar to Google's Loon project but differs in that Loon uses balloons, while SkyOrbiter uses the UAV team to carry the signal to the air.

The SkyOrbiter's UAV team has a wide range to suit many different levels. Of these, the LA25 low-floor aircraft, six with a wingspan of 25m, operate at a height of 3,500 meters, with an internet coverage of 42,000 kilometers, working continuously for two weeks.

Next is the high-end LA75 aircraft, with three, 75m wingspan, 150,000km wide coverage, operating continuously for 7 weeks. The best one is the HA75, which also has a wingspan of 75m but operates at a height of 22,000m, covering the signal up to 5 million km.

Quarkson estimates that UAVs can be used for a variety of purposes other than providing the global internet network, which may include aerial imagery, environmental monitoring, and agricultural applications. military.
