South Korea's presidential office Cheongwadae reported on the 8th that the first test launch of a hypersonic glider independently developed by South Korea was successful on the same day, and President Lee Jae-myung watched the test live. According to the report, the purpose of this test launch is to verify the performance, guidance and control capabilities of ultra-high temperature heat-resistant materials, and the ability to fly irregularly at low altitudes in a hypersonic flight environment. According to information, after the hypersonic glider uses a propulsion device to accelerate to the upper layer of the atmosphere, it separates from the propulsion device and glides at a lower altitude. During the test launch on the same day, the aircraft successfully separated after reaching a predetermined altitude, and completed the mission as planned in a hypersonic flight environment.
