A Small Helicopter Is A Huge Success on Mars Early Monday morning, April 19, a little four-pound helicopter made history on another planet. The Ingenuity experimental flying machine became the first human-built aircraft to fly on Mars. It was a short flight - going straight up 10 feet and then back down in a 39-second test. As Dr. Sarah Johnson of Georgetown University told a Montana State University audience this past winter, this is just a small part of the Mars Perseverance rovers mission ...
