{{Short description|Proposed Mars exploration aircraft}} |

| ⚫ | '''Mars Aerial and Ground Global Intelligent Explorer''' or '''MAGGIE''' is a proposed compact [[Unmanned aerial vehicle|UAV]] fixed wing [[electric aircraft]] powered by [[solar energy]] to fly in the [[Atmosphere of Mars|Martian atmosphere]] with [[VTOL|vertical take-off/landing]] ([[VTOL]]) capability. The range of MAGGIE for a fully charged battery is {{convert|179|km|mi}} at an altitude of 1,000 meters, the aircraft would land then and recharge its batteries with the [[solar cell]]s on its wings and body. The total range per Martian year is {{convert|16,048|km|mi}}. Mar's atmosphere is 6.35 [[mbar]]<ref>https://www.space.com/16903-mars-atmosphere-climate-weather.html</ref> which is 160x thinner than [[Atmosphere of Earth|Earth's Atmosphere]] at 1013.2 mbar.<ref>https://www.noaa.gov/jetstream/atmosphere/air-pressure#:~:text=The%20standard%20pressure%20at%20sea,the%20atmosphere%20decreases%20with%20height.</ref> During winter the global atmospheric pressure on Mars is 25% lower than during summer because the [[Co2]] from the atmosphere freezes into [[dry ice]] on the [[Martian polar ice caps]]. MAGGIE has a cruise [[lift coefficient|lift coefficient]] CL of 3.5, nearly an order of magnitude higher than conventional [[subsonic aircraft]] to overcome the low density of the Martian atmosphere.<ref>https://www.nasa.gov/general/mars-aerial-and-ground-global-intelligent-explorer/</ref> <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20090414055517/http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/scitech/display.cfm?ST_ID=725</ref> |

The cruise [[Mach number]] of MAGGIE is 0.25, Mach speed on Mars is 546.4 mph at sea level, so cruising speed would be around 130 mph at elevation.<ref>https://aerospaceweb.org/question/atmosphere/q0249.shtml</ref> |
