Man. When we get one of these to Titan, it's going to be wild. Flying through the methane air there and snapping shots of liquid hydrocarbon lakes.
The risks of a spark firing it all up... I'd like to see that!
Edit: a commenter asked if o2 was needed. Good question. Does anybody know?
Yes, you need O2 for combustion:
Thanks!
wouldn't you need O2 for there to be a risk of fire and explosion?
Maybe the helicopter blades would sound like a low 'woob, woob, woob' in methane.
