It may not be able to. But the blades seem to be much larger for the body it is trying to lift than comparable craft on earth. Two pairs of counter-rotating blades that have a 4’ diameter for that little box. And they’re designed to rotate at 2400rpm—40 revolutions per second. I hope that’s enough to generate lift in that atmosphere!

“The atmosphere of Mars is the layer of gases surrounding Mars. It has mostly carbon dioxide (95%). The atmospheric pressure on the Martian surface averages 600 pascals, about 0.6% of Earth’s mean sea level pressure of 101.3 kilopascals”
