Just Plain Weird

Science fact or science fiction?

Tony Stark did it as Iron Man, the Mandalorian was a master too but flying through the air to infinity and beyond with just a jet pack was movie magic—right?

But now, the technology is real and is being tested around the world.

Richard Browning is the inventor, test pilot and founder of Gravity Industries in the UK, the company developing jet suits and several organizations are interested in using them.

The suit comprises of 5 mini-jet, 1,050 horse-power engines, two attached to each arm and one on the backpack. Take off is vertical and it uses the human body for thrust control. It is now considered a new aviation category.
