Unfortunately the article does not talk about how this helicopter would fare in a sandstorm. Are the winds strong enough to tip it over?

- londons_explore 6y agoThere is practically no wind on Mars. The wind speed is super high, but the air density is so low it won't impact anything more than dust.
- spaetzleesser 6y agoThis is really interesting to think about. On Venus it’s the opposite. Any kind of wind speed will have a huge impact.
- SubMachineGhost 6y agoMars has 1% of earth's atmosphere, so it will not affect the vehicle, The answer comes from an interview with the engineers here : https://youtu.be/GhsZUZmJvaM?t=534 https://youtu.be/GhsZUZmJvaM?t=534
