Pffft. They bought motors and put little resistors in them.
Your ejukashun is laughable.

Similar principles involved but the materials and technological innovations for operating in the Mars environment make your criticism childish. Move on to UFOs.

It be cold and da air is onlee 20 persint as thik. So complakat'd.
How about 1% as thick. Mars average surface pressure is only about 0.088 psi vs Earth 17.7 psi.
Ingenuity Mars Helicopter's blades are made of a lightweight carbon fiber foam core to provide lift in the thin Mars atmosphere.
Ingenuity fourth successful flight, April 30, 2021. The helicopter climbed to an altitude of 16 feet (5 meters) before flying south approximately 436 feet (133 meters) and then back, for an 872-foot (266-meter) round trip. In total, we were in the air for 117 seconds.
NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter flipped like a coin in the air after venturing out on its sixth flight above the Red Planet. The unexpectedly turbulent flight happened on May 22, but NASA just released information about the "in-flight anomaly" on May 27.
Ingenuity managed to fly 33 feet above the Martian landscape and snap an image of the planet's surface (pictured below) before things started spiraling.

NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity is set for 7th Red Planet flight on Sunday, if all goes according to plan.
Ingenuity's handlers are prepping the 4-lb. (1.8 kilograms) chopper for its seventh Martian flight, which will take place no earlier than Sunday (June 6). The plan is to send Ingenuity to a new airfield, about 350 feet (105 meters) south of its current location on the floor of Jezero Crater.

That won't happen until we liberate the oxygen on Mars.
A new airfield? Were the Seabees there earlier getting it all set up

? It would just get blasted away without a decent magnetosphere.
I wasn't serious. Although, we could take some birds on the Starship and let them fly around the Mars habitat. In the future maybe even some farm animals could be useful.

Wow. That's what my 17 year old rowing shell is made of. Cutting edge....
Whatever gets the job done. Especially, when you're controlling and communicating with a device 34 million miles away that's operating in an extreme environment.
