You can now get up in the air with the 3D printed jet suit

The idea of man flying is a dream that has been pursued for centuries. A dream that seemed like science fiction or belonging to Iron Man, but is now possible with Richard Browning’s development of: the 3D printed jet suit allowing you to go up in the air. This development has started the commercialisation with a whopping £ 340,000 (€ 380,000) on the Selfridges website. Would you pay this amount for flying without limitations?

Based on the renowned Iron Man character, Browning, CEO of Gravity Industries, explained: “It started as an exploration along with the daily work.” We realised that we were heading in a direction that had already been thought: the character of Iron Man. What people find funny is that I am not a formally trained engineer, but I have always liked to dismantle things and create things. “

The development of the 3D printed jet suit

To start with this idea, the company received an investment of $ 650,000 from Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, and after years of study and development, it was announced last year, that it was ready to take off. A suit with 1,000 horsepower can reach speeds of 90 km/h, although the suits come with a recommended limit of 50 km / h and are capable of reaching a height of up to 3,650 meters.
