Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab make a breakthrough in rotor technology

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineers made a breakthrough in rotor technology for next-generation Martian rotorcraft, building on the success of the Ingenuity helicopter. The new technology will enable heavier payloads to be carried longer distances on Mars. NASA plans to send three more helicopters to Mars on the SkyFall mission, launching as soon as late 2028.
