00:00Titan is also the perfect place for a flying mission because the conditions there are almost
00:05ideal. Gravity on Titan is only about 14% of Earth's gravity. At the same time, the atmosphere
00:13is denser than on Earth. That means plenty of lift and very little weight. Or put differently,
00:20it takes much less energy to cover the same distance as here on Earth or on Mars. A helicopter
00:27that can barely fly on Earth would suddenly be extremely efficient on Titan. It is precisely
00:33this coincidence of physics that makes Dragonfly possible in the first place. So you could say,
00:39Titan is the dream of every engineer who wants to build and fly a drone in the solar system.
00:46And NASA is taking full advantage of that.
