The atmosphere is less dense but gravity is also much lower. Calculations done on the conditions mars have actually indicate that human powered flight (strapping fake wings on and attempting to be a bird) would actually work on mars because of its low gravity. That being the case there's nothing unbelievable about a helicopter working on mars as well and if you wish to prove otherwise than I would certainly be interested in a post containing all the relevant calculations done in regards to the gravity and aerodynamics of mars to see whether a helicopter would actually be able to fly there.
With a gravity a third of that on Earth, I get that you could jump very high but you would still come down while flapping your arms. With such a small amount of air there wouldn't be enough high to low pressure differential on your wings to cause lift in an atmosphere 144 times less dense than on Earth.
Have not put any numbers together yet, but that could be a long process looking into drag, buoyancy, and pressure differentials in a ultra low pressure environment.
Belief. For example, the paid shill OP believes that planes work on Earth, so they do. But he doesn’t believe they could ever work anywhere else (he doesn’t believe that anywhere else even exists), so they don’t anywhere else.
Lets follow the money. Since I am accused of being paid, I wonder who would be paying me. Would it be Russia, China, or some other entity that would fork over money to have me call this news article bogus? I am legitimately curious who you think is paying me for this.
Even though the atmosphere is 144 times less dense than Earth's, the blades only need to spin 5 times faster than a normal drone, to achieve the same results. Not buying it.
The only problem is the gravity variable. Not sure what would need to be done to compensate for that. Would adding 3 times as much air be an apples to apples workaround for the math or would that just compund the problem? Can really go down a rabbit hole with replicating things.
(Edit: three times the air on mars, not earth.)
I think the footage is real and the lie is how thin the air is. If you go look at things like Popular Mecanics magazine from the late 40s and 50s they were predicting man exploring Mars with just oxygen masks like climbers on tall mountains, not full NASA space suits. That was with the best knowledge available before the Brookings report was issued .What better way to slow down space exploration (Which would make mankind more spread out and harder to control) than make it 100 times harder than reality?
Want to see something that will really make you go "those bastards are lying to us!" ? Look up a picture of the curiosity lander not the rover and adjust the RBG until the cables are the same shade of yellow they are in pictures from before the launch.
The article mentioned how this could be used to now use drones in low atmospheric areas like the mountains. Seems ass backwards to make a Mars helicopter THEN apply the tech to Earth.
Some people really get worked up when asked to question things in the news, but I would never encourage narcotic use to cope with things that make you uncomfortable.
Couldn't the same be said for opium, it's just a plant that is smoked. I have nothing against recreational drug use, just very against using any subtances (including pharmaceuticals) to cope with anxiety.
No stress or anxiety issues here. I simply partake because I like to.
When I first met my wife of 25 years she told me that I was so laid back to the point of being horizontal. So I asked her if she wanted to get horizontal with me.

Is that just your intuition or have you attempted to crunch any numbers?
Numbers are racist sexist artificial constructs, so he didn’t bother with them.
Have not put any numbers together yet, but that could be a long process looking into drag, buoyancy, and pressure differentials in a ultra low pressure environment.
So you're here criticizing something you haven't even had a chance to look into yourself and disprove?
Fucking lol mate.
You're scared.
Scared? Your comment is fucking stupid. Be ashamed that you just posted it.
Frightened child.
Why wouldn't it?
What generates lift in a helicopter?
Airfoils. The fact that the pressure underneath the blades is more dense than on top, thus generating lift.
It's low density, not space helicopters. This isn't an L ron hubbard meth induced sci fi story.
Belief. For example, the paid shill OP believes that planes work on Earth, so they do. But he doesn’t believe they could ever work anywhere else (he doesn’t believe that anywhere else even exists), so they don’t anywhere else.
It’s very simple, really.
Lets follow the money. Since I am accused of being paid, I wonder who would be paying me. Would it be Russia, China, or some other entity that would fork over money to have me call this news article bogus? I am legitimately curious who you think is paying me for this.
The people who would rather have fans of conspiracy waste their lives on nonsense than exposing their crimes
He didn't specify that you were paid to disparage this article in particular.
HAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA THE FUCKING RETARD ACTUALLY THINKS WE’LL ACCEPT HIS NARRATIVE RESTRICTIONS HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
You are all over the place. You must be a real treat to deal with in person.
I am in one place. You believe things that only clinically insane people believe. That’s why you’re incapable of defending your claims.
They certainly do. not to many people willing to question this nonsense....
Even though the atmosphere is 144 times less dense than Earth's, the blades only need to spin 5 times faster than a normal drone, to achieve the same results. Not buying it.
Or maybe they just increased the pitch angle of the blades to catch more air...
Not much air to catch, 144 times less atmospheric pressure than on Earth.
increase lift by increasing the size of the rotors + gravity is significantly weaker = you are too stoopid to understand physics.
Swing and a miss, pal.
It's not me that is demonstrating how utterly uneducated and stupid you look for not understanding physics.
Open your eyes. Stop going through life blind.
Just shut up. You don’t get it. You don’t want to get it. You’re too stupid to be considered human. You’re a waste of time.
Sounds like you have been triggered. Please report to the nearest Safe Space.
Great job. Never heard that one before.
That's what gave you away as being a leftist. You offered no proof to disprove me.
You were literally just told to take a remedial course in aerodynamics, you illiterate faggot.
Again you put nothing of value forward.
Would not be challenging to disprove. An HVAC vacuum pump. Thick plexi glass chamber, A drone redone to spin the blades, 7 times faster.
The only problem is the gravity variable. Not sure what would need to be done to compensate for that. Would adding 3 times as much air be an apples to apples workaround for the math or would that just compund the problem? Can really go down a rabbit hole with replicating things.

After reading all of the comments I have come to the conclusion that you all need to relax and smoke a joint, hit a bong, or do a dab.
Puff, puff, pass.
Relax, take a deep breath and realize it doesn't really matter.
Some people really get worked up when asked to question things in the news, but I would never encourage narcotic use to cope with things that make you uncomfortable.
Cannabis is not a narcotic. It is a plant and when set on fire it has certain effects.
Apparently they get worse than worked up. Ego tripping.
Conspiracy theorists arguing with conspiracy theorist. Is there a conspiracy behind this?
Makes for some entertainment!

Life is just a ride. Live, Love, Laugh!
You being too brain damaged to understand aerodynamics does not mean that aerodynamics doesn’t exist.
Your insult has done nothing to deter my point. Rather than offer up a reasonable rebuttal you have chose to present yourself as childish.
Piss off back to Reddit, you worthless fucking well poisoner. We post actual conspiracies here.
Point reaffirmed.
Thanks for admitting that helicopters can work on Mars.
