How Do Helicopters Fly? | Experiment | Let's Explore Mars! | SciShow Kids

The video explores NASA's Ingenuity, the first helicopter to fly on Mars, highlighting its unique design and the challenges of flying in Mars' thin atmosphere. It explains helicopter mechanics and contrasts them with airplanes and birds. The video also includes a hands-on activity to build a paper helicopter model, encouraging experimentation with different designs to understand flight dynamics.

Why is it important for engineers to test different designs?
