Abstract

The low-altitude Martian aircraft has become an important research direction in the field of Mars exploration recently. The traditional Martian aircrafts including floating balloons, fixed-wing aircrafts, rotorcrafts, flapping-wing aircrafts and tilt-rotor aircrafts, have been proposed and studied for decades. In this paper, several new kinds of Martian aircraft were proposed, maybe enlightening other researchers. Compressed-air jet aircraft makes use of the CO2 for airjet to control the flight. Coaxial tri-rotor autogyro is designed with three rotors, modified from "Ingenuity" with light weight and simple structure. Jumping-flying aircraft gets the utmost out of elastic potential energy to work in high energy efficiency.
