With more than 70 successful flights, NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter demonstrated the feasibility of aerial exploration on Mars and opened the door to similar missions on other planets. Future planetary rotorcraft will be bigger and heavier to accomplish new scientific and exploratory goals. However, the flow induced by highly loaded rotors poses a risk of forming dust clouds during take-off and landing, a phenomenon known on Earth as brownout.

Exploiting fluid-structure interactions using flexible structures and actuation can improve performance in biologically inspired swimming and morphing airfoils. Open challenges in this realm are the efficient high-fidelity simulation of such fluid-structure interaction phenomena, especially in three-dimensions, as well as solving inverse problems for optimal design and control.

The NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) era refers to the current phase in quantum computing characterized by quantum processors with a limited number of qubits that are susceptible to noise and errors. While these devices are not yet fully fault-tolerant, they hold promise for solving specific problems that are intractable for classical computers.
