Korea\'s space agency is moving to develop a hybrid vertical take-off and landing aircraft after a stratospheric solar unmanned aircraft logged 170 hours and 5 minutes of continuous flight. The agency said it will push the project to foster the future aviation industry and begin research and development in 2028, running through 2032. The aircraft will combine an engine and battery and be used for emergency logistics, patient transport and inter-regional air taxis.
