‘Real-life Iron man’ says military is set to buy £24,000,000 of his jet suits An inventor whose jet suits have won him comparisons with Iron Man says he’s poised to sign £24,000,000 of deals with special forces.
In documents that formed part of the patent claim, the company cited Marvel Studios’ Iron Man character and his use of a wearable flight system which utilises propulsion units worn on the hands.
Mr Browning, a former Royal Marines reservist and oil trader, already offers £6,600 flight ‘experiences’ to members of the public – or their very own custom-made jet suits for a cool £456,000.
It holds the current world speed record for flight packs and improves on previous technology with six micro gas turbines attached the arm allowing for greater movement control.
‘We are in the process of signing several deals with two western allies, in particular for marine mobility, enabling special forces to rapidly secure maritime targets.
