I've worked out that at the stated 2400 rpm, the 48" diameter rotor on Ingenuity will have a tip speed of 343mph.
What sort of cameras are they using to achieve this apparently static image, ie no apparent movement-induced blur from root to tip?
(48" diameter x pi is 151" circumference, multiplied by 2400 rotations per minute is 361911 inches per minute tip speed.
361911 / 12 is 30159 feet per minute, /60 is 503 fps, which is 343mph)
