In: UK-RAS22: The 5th UK Robotics and Autonomous Systems Conference, 26 August 2022, Aberystwyth, Wales, UKhttps://doi.org/10.31256/Ec2Na5Whttps://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/18910NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter has proved that flight is possible on Mars with its ingenious yet elementary design, but it lacks long-range endurance and the capacity to carry any dedicated scientific instruments. In this paper, we propose a preliminary study for an innovative development in the series of Martian drones. The Futuristic Mars Aerobot Design (FuMAD) proposes a foldable winged drone based on Ingenuity’s rotors design for enhancing long-range endurance and payload capacity.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Martian aerobotingenuityMars dronesUAVConference paper
