Abstract:
NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter has proved that flight is possible on Mars with its ingenious yet elementary design, but it lacks long-range endurance and the capacity to carry any dedicated scientific instruments. In this paper, we propose a preliminary study for an innovative development in
the series of Martian drones. The Futuristic Mars Aerobot Design (FuMAD) proposes a foldable winged drone based on Ingenuity’s rotors design for enhancing long-range endurance and payload capacity.
