With growing uncertainty about how much longer Ingenuity will remain functional flight 25 took the helicopter to new heights and a further distance than it's been before , flying at an altitude of 33 ft with a ground speed of 12 mph Ingenuity broke its own record to once again become the fastest and highest flying UAV on Mars.


Footage of the 161.3-second flight was sped up approximately five times. In the video, Ingenuity first reaches an altitude of 33 feet (10 meters). The helicopter then moves southwest and accelerates to 12 mph (5.5 meters per second) in less than three seconds. Ingenuity flies over a group of sand ripples and then by several rock fields. Finally, the helicopter finds a landing spot when relatively flat terrain appears below.

Seriously, the tech is really impressive, but there are other UAV's on Mars?
