Is the atmosphere on Mars too thin for the Ingenuity helicopter to fly?

Mars' atmospheric volume is less than 1% of that on Earth and the Red Planet has less than the 16% oxygen found on Earth, but scientists have found ways to circumvent those limitations: the Ingenuity helicopter now on Mars is ultralight and has large rotor blades.Helicopters basically lift by pushing air down — lift is generated by the way the main rotor blades are formed so the air is pushed in a downward movement when the blades spin. As the air pressure changes, the helicopter lifts up.So while a helicopter would need stronger lift capacity due to a thinner atmosphere, that is compensated for somewhat because there is less gravity on Mars — the Red Planet has about one-third the gravity of Earth, according to NASA — to hold it down.
