Mars Helicopter Blade Supersonic Aerodynamics Podcast #180

The Mars ingenuity was the first powered aircraft to ever fly on another planet. But, it faced very strange conditions. The atmosphere was very thin, the Mach numbers were high, and the Reynolds numbers were low. That resulted in shocks at very low Reynolds numbers. How does that affect the aerodynamics of the helicopter's blades? Find out here!
