This Review summarizes the progress in research on the flow structure and aerodynamic
characteristics of an airfoil at a low Reynolds number encountered by near-space low-speed …

Robotic planetary aerial vehicles increase the range of terrain that can be examined,
compared to traditional landers and rovers, and have more near-surface capability than …

The design of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for flight in the Martian atmosphere is a
relevant and current topic. The successful flight of the Ingenuity helicopter recently proved its …

Martian conditions present various challenges when designing rotorcraft. Specifically, the
thin atmosphere and low sound speed require Martian rotor blades to operate in a low …

Mars sampling is of great significance for the comprehensive study of Martian geological
evolution. The successful demonstration of the Ingenuity Helicopter reveals the potential of …

The Mars rotorcraft can help the Mars rover to optimize the driving route and explore more
efficiently. However, the thin and cold Martian atmosphere can heavily increase the …

Ultra-low Reynolds number aerodynamics has gained significant attention in recent times,
primarily due to the proliferation of micro-aerial vehicles and their utilization in low-density …

Distributions of the pressure and mass transfer coefficient on rotating blades under low-
pressure (low-Reynolds-number) conditions were visualized, whereas the latter is closely …

The low Reynolds number aerodynamics is important to investigate for micro air vehicle
applications. The current paper covers numerical simulations to present the downstream …

Mars has a lower atmospheric density than Earth, and the speed of sound is lower due to its
atmospheric composition and lower surface temperature. Consequently, Martian rotor …
