A full scale atmospheric flight experimental research environment for the Mars helicopter

Popular Physics 2019-10-22 v1 Robotics

Abstract

We propose to develop a full-accuracy flight test environment for the Mars helicopter and related Mars-atmospheric vehicles. The experiment would use reduced-g atmospheric flights with an aircraft that houses a properly sized vacuum chamber.
