NASA planes on Mars appear to be a step closer
Sadly they're only talking about a glider this time around, but it seems to have promise.

Be curious to know how they solved the problem of mars air density providing little lift.

Bigger wings, lighter plane. Easy.
In fact in the article it says they're testing a test version at 30,000ft to see how it flies in low-density air.

try testing it in /talk
Plenty of low density air around there

I managed it in kerbal space program, so I'm pretty sure its possible

Why a heavier than air?
only 10% or air pressure...
A hydrogen balloon would seem better or am I stupid?
