Abstract
A concept of Mars planet propulsion vehicles is analyzed. Aluminum or magnesium combustion in CO2 is considered as the main energy production cycle. The flight possibilities in rarefied Martian atmosphere are analyzed. The problem of lift force determination in compressible gas in the proximity of rigid surface was solved theoretically. It was demonstrated that lift force increase on approaching rigid surface could guarantee reliable flights in Martian atmosphere.
