- Tram Ho
‘Iron Man of England’ is back with a new set of personal flight products to break the world record, flying at up to 85.06 mph (136.9 km / h) in Brighton, England.
The inventor was named Richard Browning , who also held the previous record at 32.02 mph (51.53 km / h) two years ago. He set a new record after two flights from a ferry in Brighton, with a top speed of 78.5 mph (126 mph) but wanted to try again to reach even higher speeds.
Iron Man of England is back!
According to Browning, the feeling of flying is extremely interesting: “Like a stream of adrenalin flowing all over me as I glide through the waves. When flying in empty areas like this, you can not know the exact speed of the like me, so having landmarks like ferries or ships is a good thing. “
Military applications
Mr. Browning is the founder of Gravity Industries, whose goal is to create personalized flying products at high speed. In addition to developing ‘flying for fun’ products, breaking the world record, the company also aims to use it in military or medical applications, making it possible for people to fly to places other vehicles are hard to reach. .
The French military says it has put a lot of money into a technology with the purpose of helping users to fly like the Green Goblin character in Spider-Man.

French technology is very different from that of Browning, creating a ‘flying saucer’ so that users can use their hands to hold guns or other weapons, more suitable for the military. Gravity Industries’ suite of products has two more thrusters at hand, in addition to generating thrust, also for flight control.
Iron Man of the US military
The US military is thought to be developing a real-life Iron Man armor to equip its soldiers. In 2014, President Obama made an official announcement that the country was planning that.

This armor will not focus on the ability to fly, but to protect against bullets like today’s bulletproof vests, but more modern. It also has a number of other features such as fire protection, built-in radios, sensors, a heads-up display HUD to show information very similar to the Iron Man helmet and hydraulic booster. user running speed.
We also learned that in 2016, Elon Musk went to the Pentagon to discuss the secret project of a flying iron armor. Perhaps in the future, all these projects will be combined into one to create a full-featured armor not inferior to Iron Man in the movie.
