    I’m not smart enough to do the numbers, but looking at how thin Triton’s atmosphere is you would need a ridiculously large rotor to move enough air and being able to power that in the cold air with limited sunlight would make it pretty impractical. The need for a helicopter would be less useful here too, given you can take satellite imagery with high clarity thanks to that thin atmosphere.
