Mars Helicopter

[PaulNH]

Not a "PHANTOM DRONE" post but it is interesting as they plan on flying a Helicopter on Mars. Will that be Atti mode in the 1% Atmosphere ? History in the making.

Might be the future on earth too. Single motor, double rotor design. AI control, self charging, sweet!
Only 250K at Gamestop.....LOL

I've been a subscriber to Derek Muller's Veritasium YouTube channel for a few years. He's one of the few YouTube geniuses who actually went to film school. He's definitely worth watching. I saw this particular episode about a month ago.

Totally unrelated, his video on the Facebook "Like" algorithm is pretty fascinating.

Yes, amazing contraption, I will be watching the live feed if they have one.

Huge oversized and over pitched props turning at 2500+ rpm for the 1% Martian atmosphere??!!! Amazing (Earth bound heli's turn their blades around 400-500 rpm)
