The sequence of problems with the aircraft is behind the decision.
However, even then, the climate was one of the frustration and uncertainty.
The second flight was better, but the propellers had problems and again landing damage.
Suspicions that Aquila would be discontinued arose last month when Andrew Cox, the project leader, stepped down.
He ran a drones company that was bought by Facebook in 2014 for about $20 million.
With the end of Aquila, the facilities that Facebook had in Bridgewater to play the project were closed.
In addition, looks like at least 16 employees who worked there were disconnected from the company.
The idea of the drone was dropped, but the development of other connectivity projects continues.
The partnership is still standing.
