NASA’s JPL tests of next-gen Mars helicopter rotors pushed blade tips to Mach 1.08 in a Mars-like chamber, delivering a 30% lift increase and signaling that future Mars aircraft could carry heavier scientific instruments, supporting low-altitude exploration as part of the SkyFall mission set for 2028 (three helicopters).
NASA’s JPL tested next‑gen Mars helicopter rotors in the 25‑Foot Space Simulator, evacuating air and replacing with CO2 to mimic Mars, pushing blade tips to Mach 1.08 with headwinds, boosting lift by about 30%, a key step toward heavier scientific payloads as SkyFall plans to deploy three rotorcraft to Mars by December 2028.
In a drag race battle between the Ford Mustang Mach 1 and the Dark Horse, the Mach 1, despite being a previous-generation model, emerged victorious with three wins to one. The Mach 1, with its exhaust upgrade and E85 fuel tune, showcased its power and quick shifts with a six-speed manual transmission. While the Dark Horse had a drag pack and sticky tires, the Mach 1's launch and performance proved superior. The results suggest that the new Mustang could benefit from an E85 tune of its own.
