Ingenuity experienced a blackout due to dust accumulation on its
solar panels


This resulted in a pause in the mission for both ingenuity and
for perseverance.


This shows that a “Test vehicle” designed for four flights has
become a massive asset for the Perseverance team.


With 28 completed flights, the Ingenuity is the first power
flight on another planet!

On Wed Wingcopter announced the FAA had issued the special class
airworthiness criteria.


This is NOT yet an airworthiness certificate but rather the
requirements that must be met to obtain an airworthiness
certificate!


This is a huge step forwards for drone delivery!
