Did you ever wonder what's going on with the weather on Mars?
...
Well, no. But it got me to thinking about flying a plane on Mars, so I'll give you that
I'd need at least a 17 mile long runway, probably more.
I'd be doing over 400MPH across the ground before I had enough aerodynamic lift to get the wheels off the ground.
I'd need "pre-heat" as my engine does NOT like -130f temps.
I'd need an alternate source of oxygen to power the engine. A "trace" amount of O2 in the martian atmosphere just won't cut it.
