On Mars things are really looking up thanks in part to NASA's aeronautical innovators
and their decades of vertical lift research since the 1960s NASA has been studying vertical lift
technology mostly for Earth but sometimes for the Moon or other planets research engineers
perform detailed work in areas such as performance predictions, computational fluid dynamics analysis
and so much more the Ingenuity Mars helicopter was developed by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
with substantial contributions from Ames Research Center and Langley Research Center
