 The article by Gohd (2021), 'Mars helicopter Ingenuity: First aircraft to fly on Red Planet', introduces features and functions of helicopter Ingenuity that took off successfully on April 19, 2021. Tucked in NASA's Perseverance Rover's belly, NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity is the first aircraft to be launched to the Red Planet on February 18, 2021, as part of the agency's Mars 2020 mission.

Some of the Helicopter Ingenuity's features are solar panels, batteries, rotor blades, and cameras. Based on the article, the helicopter's solar panel charges Lithium-ion batteries that provide enough energy for one 90-second flight per Martian day. Gohd also mentioned ingenuity to have two cameras on board, one with 0.3-megapixel black-and-white camera that points down to the ground, used for navigation. The other camera is a 12-megapixel high-resolution that looks out to the horizon. As mentioned in the article, the helicopter has rotor blades of just under 1.2 meters across, powered by a small solar panel mounted above its rotor blades.
