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.

Is that just your intuition or have you attempted to crunch any numbers?

So you're here criticizing something you haven't even had a chance to look into yourself and disprove?
Fucking lol mate.
