NASA's new Mars helicopter rotor blade roamx-0201 could extend single-flight distance to 18.7 km

NASA researchers, working with Imperial College London and Nagoya University, have designed a new Mars helicopter rotor blade airfoil called roamx-0201. Through high-fidelity simulations and wind tunnel tests, it could increase the maximum single uninterrupted flight distance from Ingenuity's 0.7 km to up to 18.7 km while carrying scientific instruments.
