In the London store Selfridges nine buyers were allowed to buy their own personalized version of the costume for Iron man with the jetpack over 340 thousand pounds sterling. The jetpack was designed by the English inventor Richard Browning. The first version of the suit he showed in November 2017. The suit has ve miniature jet engines.
In March 2018 Richard Browning has attracted major investment of entrepreneurs in Silicon valley, but now gave the chance to the public to independently test his invention. Just look how cool!
How much for a jetpack?
Browning flew in his suit over the world, we flew on a small closed street, which is a luxury store Selfridges. Now the shop sells personal suits “Iron man”. The price is certainly exorbitant, as befits the gods.
“Jet Suit is the equivalent of the flight in the first airplane,” says the boss of the World, Director of technology and menswear at Selfridges. “We are entering an era when aerospace technologies will finally become available to the consumer and are proud to offer them first.”
Suit, weighing 22 kg with electronics and made from 3D-printed parts.
Working on a jet fuel or diesel, the suit set a record speed of 51 km/h and rising to 3658 meters. During the demonstration, security reasons, Browning hovers a few meters above the ground.
“It consumes about four liters per minute when hovering, so you can fly three or four minutes. There is another version — on a cold day when you can squeeze more thrust, it will fly about nine minutes,” says Browning.
How does the costume of “Iron man”?
Formally Richard Browning made his debut with its technology in March. It was an early version of the suit called Daedalus.
The technology combines mounted on the body of the miniature jet engines and specially designed exoskeleton that allows the pilot to take off vertically and use the body for flight control.
Four placed in the hands of a gas turbine engine and two mounted under the knee provide enough traction to enable them to support the weight of his body over prolonged periods of flight.
Browning says that the suit is able to accelerate to a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour and fly at an altitude of thousand meters above the ground.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the jetpack from Richard Browning for 440 thousand dollars
