How many hours of flight time before the rotors need to be refurbished?

The leading edge of the rotors takes a beating in that environment.

I don’t know but yeah, at 2700 RPM that’s got to take a toll.

I suspect that with any of these projects, expectations are downplayed. Yet it certainly looks like the Mars Helicopter has blown past even the insiders’ best hopes.
