I felt that people didn't really know about Ingenuity, so I set out to rectify that. It's an amazing feat of engineering, the first helicopter on another world. It deserves to be known and applauded.

And so, there you have it, a simulation of NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter in Godot 3.5. Basic flying is in, but it's manual for now. Autonomous flight is an important next step. Battery consumption and flight time limits are not in because, realism aside, it's not fun to have to recharge for a day after 90 seconds of flight. The terrain is based on Mars but doesn't match the real site because of data availability issues. The 3D model is from here, thanks to NASA.
