The Preliminary Research Aerodynamic Design to Land on Mars, or Prandtl-M, is a small, remotely piloted glider aircraft.
The prototype flew on 11 August at the Nasa Armstrong Flight Research Centre in California.
Envisioned with a wingspan of two feet and weighing less than three pounds, the aircraft would be able to deploy, fly in the Martian atmosphere, glide down and land.
During its flight over Mars could, the plane would collect very detailed high-resolution topographic images that could tell scientists about the suitability of potential landing sites.
Prandtl-M would have a flight time of about 10 minutes and would glide for the last 2,000 feet (609 metres) to the Martian surface. Its range would be about 20 miles (32 km).
