Jet suit

This suit, called "Daedalus" after the sculptor of ancient Greece who constructed a wing from springs and beeswax, is supposed to be able to raise a man up to 12,000 ft in the sky - although the user may want to remain nearer to the floor. Saying that the suit is a " whole new area of people' s mobility", he admitted that it could take a while for jetpack traffic to really take off.

Mr Brauning has conducted many demos of the suit over the past year. He set a global track-breaker for " the highest speeds in a body-controlled powersuit " in November 2017, shooting 32.02 mph across a sea in Reading, England. The Daedalus suit doesn't require supernatural force, according to Mr Browning.

Well, the DAEDALUS isn't the only jetpack out there. Last year, Boeing launched a two-year contest to promote the design of VTOLs (Personal VTOLs).

So, who purchased the $445,000 Iron Man Jet Pack suit? These are some theories

Of course we are talking about the Iron Man Jet Jack, which was developed by the 39-year-old studied innovator and former Royal Marine Reserve Richard Browning. A 1050 hp Jet Suit is now available at Selfridges London for a meagre £340,000 (or USD445,492.82 from that date). CNN, referring to Gravity, the firm Browning founded to commercialize its invention, reported that "a high-profile, undisclosed customer caught the first of these true Iron Man suite.

Fall out celebrity Tom Cruise could make a lot of good business for a few reason. Gravity first sent a picture of Cruise with Browning to Instagram in February last year. Also, a true jetpack seems to be exactly the kind of buy a 56-year-old mesochist with an estimate net value of $570 million and a staggeringly high Operating Thetan standard would buy for himself (we have also contacted Cruise agents and will be updating when we get back).

Says Mr. Browning that, with some practice (mandatory for serious prospects ), the suit can run at 32 nautical miles per hour traveling up to 12,000ft high. At a TED meeting last year, Mr Browning said that keeping in form to drive the car required the maintenance of the workout programme he had taken up as a Royal Marines reserves.

Ordinary people, rednecks and mops who can't buy the strong suit label can take a closer look at it at Selfridges. You can also see your ride through the store's VR screen, just as Robert Downey Jr. sees the movie imagination that he is Iron Man without actually floating around.
