Jul 19, 2020 · This helicopter has to be super lightweight to fly on Mars. It also needs large blades that can rotate really fast so it can generate enough lift to overcome the gravity of the Red Planet and lift off the ground. In this NASA/JPL-Caltech activity project, you will build a paper helicopter.
