The #MarsHelicopter completes the shortest flight in Martian aviation history!

Ingenuity conducted a short hover for Flight 34, popping up 16 ft (5 meters) for 18 seconds. This flight tested out the capabilities of a major software update. http://go.nasa.gov/3Ow8BZa

Flight 34 Was Short But Significant - NASA

Compared to some of the other flights this past year, Flight 34 might not stand out. Even shorter than Ingenuity’s first flight, yesterday’s successful 18-second flight simply popped up to a little over 16 feet (5 meters), hovered, then landed.

... Hey I wonder if that helicopter could be used as a duster for solar panels.
