🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷 MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH FOR THE WORLD! South Korea’s solar-powered aircraft stayed in the sky for over 7 days! South Korea announced a major aerospace achievement on ***November 11, 2026*** Its solar-powered unmanned aircraft, EAV-4, completed a nonstop flight lasting 170 hours and 5 minutes during August 18–25. That is more than 7 days without landing or refueling, breaking South Korea's previous record by over three times and ranking second worldwide behind Airbus's Zephyr. Why does this matter? --- Flying at 20 km: These aircraft can operate in the stratosphere as pseudo-satellites, supporting communications, surveillance and disaster monitoring. --- Solar power day and night: Solar panels generate electricity during the day, while batteries keep the aircraft flying at night. --- Real-world applications: During the flight, EAV-4 demonstrated wildfire detection and tracking using advanced cameras. --- Next-generation aviation: South Korea also unveiled plans for a ₩1.09 trillion project to develop four prototypes of a five-seat hybrid vertical takeoff aircraft by 2032. South Korea is pushing beyond chips, smartphones and cars, and into the future of aerospace technology. Source: @with_KASA

. China and South Korea are far ahead in robot use Both digital and electric (high robots + rising electricity) China, South Korea Digital only (high robots, little or no electricity rise) Japan Electric only (lower robots + strong electricity rise) Mexico Neither (lower robots + little electricity rise) United States, Germany (and several other European countries that are not labeled) China and South Korea stand out clearly in the top-right group. Japan is the main name in the digital-only area. Mexico is the clearest example of electric-only. The US and Germany sit in the neither group
