It is not a quadcopter seen in the drones, but two counter-rotating rotors. This is a format that is widely adopted by radio controllers and has excellent self-reliability stability.

Mars helicopter with a large softball aircraft. It weighs only 1.8 kg, and the rotation speed of the wing is 3,000 rpm which is ten times the helicopter of the earth. According to report, this is because the atmosphere of Mars is about 1% of the Earth's surface, so it is about the same condition as the sky above the ground about 30 km above the earth.

The helicopter gets loaded on the spacecraft and reaches the ground, it will be able to fly when charging is completed.
