- dfcab 3y agoThere is a picture of the helicopter that has arrows in your link, click next and you will see the tip of the blade in a shadow. :(

- fredthedeadhead 3y agoThanks, I missed that! It looks like it landed on quite an incline, almost 45 degrees.

- imglorp 3y agoEverything about the mission provided valuable data: especially that damaged blade. Failure modes are useful. Next, it might be useful to try flying anyway. If not, they still have running cameras, sensors and computer, until Perseverance moves out of range.
- ragebol 3y agoThe rotors will be unbalanced (even if the other side also broke off, chances of the same amount breaking of are as remote as the thing itself), so it will vibrate and probably tip over if it spins too hard
- imglorp 3y agoSure, but that will be more data than guessing and not trying.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoIt's math about physics (actually mechanical/aerospace engineering), not a guess.
