An analysis of Mars rotary wing aircraft was done, regarding a quadcopter design.A mission profile was proposed, that could be generalized to multiple mission goals.Energy requirements for such a mission were computed and then a mass sizing of the drone was calculated.This resulted in various design points of Mars drones, in accordance with what initial conditions (for example rotor count) were chosen.Next, using blade element momentum theory, an analytical model of the rotors was calculated and implemented to the drone, so as to create a conceptual design for later research and development use.
