How I built a jet suit

We've all dreamed of flying -- but for Richard Browning, flight is an obsession. He's built an Iron Man-like suit that leans on an elegant collaboration of mind, body and technology, bringing science fiction dreams a little closer to reality. Learn more about the trial and error process behind his invention and take flight with Browning in an unforgettable demo.

Combining curiosity, resilience, and technology, a small team achieved personal human flight using wearable micro jet turbines. After many crashes and failed prototypes, they managed a six-second flight that proved their idea worked. The project blends rigorous engineering with the instinctive balance of the human body, much like learning to ride a bike. Each setback became a lesson, fueling ever greater ambitions for the future of flight.
