A little more perspective
NASA describes Ingenuity as 0.49 meters high in its intact 2021 configuration. The reference begins at the four landing feet and ends at the upper assembly. The 1.2-meter diameter of its counter-rotating rotors is a separate horizontal measurement.
The rotor blades span much farther than the small electronics fuselage. NASA gives the body dimensions as 13.6 by 19.5 by 16.3 centimeters and describes about 13 centimeters of ground clearance. The illustration therefore preserves a small suspended body and long rotors, rather than treating the fuselage alone as the helicopter’s standing height.
