This project aims to increase understanding of the aerodynamics of bio-inspired flight in the low-density atmosphere of Mars. The significance of flight in planetary exploration is shown by the ongoing success of the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, and the Dragonfly rotorcraft planned for use on Titan. Expected outcomes of this project will be innovative numerical modelling techniques validated using local specially designed low-pressure experimental facilities. Benefits will be more accurate design guidance for efficient and robust flapping and rotary wing robotic vehicles for Mars and other space exploration that take advantage of the unique atmospheric conditions, and in placing Australia at the forefront of such design technology.

该项目旨在增进对火星低密度大气中生物启发飞行的空气动力学的了解。飞行在行星探索中的重要性表现在火星上的“无畏号”直升机和计划在泰坦上使用的“蜻蜓”旋翼机的持续成功上。该项目的预期成果将是利用当地专门设计的低压实验设施验证创新的数值模拟技术。其好处将是为利用独特的大气条件进行火星和其他空间探索的高效和坚固的扑翼和旋翼机器人飞行器提供更准确的设计指导，并使澳大利亚处于这种设计技术的最前沿。
