Drone flies on Mars?

The drone has two counter-rotating rotors with a diameter of 1.2m and weighs 1.8kg.

The Earth's atmosphere near the ground has a density of 1.2 kg m−3 and a gravitational force of approximately 9.81 m s−2. Here, the drone took off at 500 rotor revolutions per minute. The Martian atmosphere has a density of 0.020 kg m−3. Mars has a diameter of approximately 6.8 103 km and a mass of approximately 6.4 1023 kg, and therefore a gravitational force of approximately 3.695 m s−2.

How fast do the rotors have to rotate for the drone to take off on Mars? So far, I've only considered using lift, but I can't seem to find a connection to the rotor revolutions. Maybe one of you has an idea. Thanks in advance for your answers.

The lower density of the atmosphare correspondingly causes higher rotor rotations, the lower “weight” (local gravity acceleration) correspondingly less. Maybe just convert proportional
