Of course we’ll never see flight suit which can be used to go to work or visit grandparents in the city. They are too dangerous, as the pilot is completely unprotected.
But under certain very specific conditions, flight suits can be really useful tools. For example, in rescue work in hard-to-reach places.
flying suit British company Gravity Industries, beat world record “car” of this type, climb Mount Helvellin, almost 1000 meters high, in just 3 minutes 30 seconds. You can see it in this video:
In fact, the flight suit pilot climbed only 700 meters, since the height of the base of the mountain is about 300 meters.
Nevertheless, it is an impressive feat, demonstrating usefulness of this type of aircraft.
If there were an accident at the top of the mountain, it would take a doctor in a flight suit a little over 3 minutes to get there. Instead of the team will take about 70 minutes on foot in climbing these 1000 meters along the permitted paths.
Wheeled vehicles cannot climb such a steep peak, and a helicopter will be banned from flying due to fog and rain at the summit, as seen in the video.
JetSuit – the most advanced flight suit, with thousands of hours of test flights. It was developed by the British company Gravity Industries and is already on sale for about 400,000 eurosalthough you must complete the course to be able to use it.
JetSuit differs from other competitive flight suits in that the engines are not on the back, but in the hands of the pilot. This makes it more manoeuvrable. Literally, you move the thrusters manuallynot by pressing a button.
Thanks to this system, you can achieve impressive speed 135 km/hand allows more precise control. At this link you can see him racing against a rally car.
But, as we have already mentioned, flying suits are dangerous. In this other video, we can see some falls.
Despite this, they will soon become a common tool in firefighters, military, emergency medical teams and other government services.
