Google's purchase of Titan Aerospace, a manufacturer of solar-powered drones, is the latest expression of interest in drones, for any number of potential applications, by Amazon, Facebook and Google.

Facebook initially has suggested drones could be used to support Internet access in many areas of higher population density.
