circular cylinder. The present study considers two-dimensional shock-free continuum flow by …

The Mars Helicopter (MH) will be flying on the NASA Mars 2020 rover mission scheduled to
launch in July of 2020. Research is being performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) …

The design of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for flight in the Martian atmosphere is a
relevant and current topic. The successful flight of the Ingenuity helicopter recently proved its …

Martian conditions present various challenges when designing rotorcraft. Specifically, the
thin atmosphere and low sound speed require Martian rotor blades to operate in a low …

The Mars rotorcraft can help the Mars rover to optimize the driving route and explore more
efficiently. However, the thin and cold Martian atmosphere can heavily increase the …

Ultra-low Reynolds number aerodynamics has gained significant attention in recent times,
primarily due to the proliferation of micro-aerial vehicles and their utilization in low-density …

The characteristics of fast-response pressure-sensitive paints (PSPs) in low-pressure
conditions were evaluated. Three representative porous binders were investigated: polymer …
