Seathwaite Falls Record Climb

2 minutes to arrive at the top of a 250 meter, 25 minute climb on foot.
Yet another exercise to test and evaluate Jet Suit mobility in tough terrain, in the Lake District, UK.
Thanks to the Great North Air Ambulance, Orsted, Skydio, Insta360 and Ben Kenobi on the drone.

BACKGROUND
With a rich family history in Aviation, former Oil Trader & Royal Marines Reservist, Richard Browning, founded pioneering Aeronautical Innovation company, Gravity Industries in March 2017 to launch human flight into an entirely new era.
The Gravity #JetSuit uses over 1000bhp of Jet Engine power combined with natural human balance to deliver the most intense and enthralling spectacle, often likened to the real life Ironman.
Gravity has to date been experienced by over a billion people globally and covered by virtually every media platform. The Gravity Team, based in the UK, have delivered over 100 flight & Speaking events across 30 countries including 5 TED talks.
“The team and I are delivering on the vision to build Gravity into a world class aeronautical engineering business, challenge perceived boundaries in human aviation, and inspire a generation to dare ask 'what if…”

Man.... i hope i'm still around 30 years from now, to see this commercialized and miniatured with alternate power source.

[@kschleic9053]

3D printing is already miniaturizing these micro-jet engines... energy source is unlikely to change away from carbon fuels in the next 30 years, fuel energy density is the limiting factor of flight time in this, and it will be very hard to beat the energy density of carbon fuels in that timeframe. I could see a transition from jet fuel to liquid methane with material improvements to pressure vessels and insulation.

You are right 👉 we will be able to fly... Way sooner than 30 years. I'd start saving...

[@daversj]

Air is to thin at those altitudes. The engines would have about a third of the power at those altitudes compared to sea level.

[@NicolasValentinScotland]

Beautiful the lot .

[@calebbowling4137]

You could strengthen the users arms with available hard or soft exo suit technology to allow for longer flight times. A more modular design would incorporate holders for the rockets in these exo arm pieces, and when not currently flying the user can simply fold them to their back instead of at their thighs. Just a few thoughts from a still learning engineer

[@Speedy2619]

At the time the limiting factor on fly time is the fuel consumption and tank capacity. They have to extend fly time 3 times before arms getting sour will be an concern.

[@NR-rv8rz]

I know you guys abandoned the early design of having jets on the feet due to the instability it caused. But it seems to me that this was because the leg jets were too powerful and expected to bear the load of the entire body. Would it not work better if there were outside ankle jets that were much smaller and with less thrust so each one just bore the weight of that leg and a little more. That way there could be a back jet for the majority of the trust, then a smaller one on each limb and that would give you four points of positional and directional control instead of two. It would also mean the pilot became less fatigued over time.

[@1asdfasdfasdf]

Don't know if you saw the Cisco video or not. He made a comparison to hovering a dog over water and it wants to start paddling. They had same issue with humans. We instinctively want to pull our legs up once leaving the ground which of course throws the thrust vector off. That sounded like the main reason they abandoned the leg jets. At least to me ;-) (edit: fixed some typos)

[@ThornMu]

Indeed, the issue of the pilot's instincts is what makes the leg jets unusable. Our instincts aren't designed for this method of movement and act contrary to our benefit in this case. Using the arms for the movement, they bypass most existing instincts and can write new muscle memory much faster than if they had to first unlearn such deep wiring. So, while your concept has merit, it would only work for a select few who could succeed at such mental unlearning, which significantly narrows the already small pool of viable pilots.

[@bjma654651651]

The back jet already bears most of the weight. The arm jets are for manoeuvring, plus a bit of load bearing. It’s effectively a tripod design, which is the minimum stable arrangement.

[@NR-rv8rz]

@@bjma654651651 I get that powerful leg jets are an issue. But I think weaker ones would allow the pilot to feel like he's on all fours crouching on a surface of air.

[@garyfreeman896]

The added fuel weight would dramatically reduce the already impractical 6 minute flight time.

[@generalrendar7290]

This is potential realized. Mountain navigation. You could use this in search and rescue to locate a lost survivor and triage them while EMS is on the way. This could revolutionize Mountain warfare.

It's very practical, far cheaper than the £2000 an hour rate for a helicopter to search ground ( never mind all the other support vehicles) and the word silly most certainly does not apply. It's relatively very cheap, very practical ( you just saw it arrive in a fairly normal car and hit the top minutes later...) and far from silly. To be clear... cheap practical not silly...

[@donindri]

@@Jafmanz so a drone would be even cheaper, more practical and not burn gas?

[@Ivan_Berni]

@@donindri And i guess you drone will also be capable of performing first aids and lift heavy rocks, rigth?

[@HvV8446]

@@donindri use a drone for finding a victim and use the jetpack to get a first responder to said victim. First responder can stabilize the victim until he/she can be safely removed from the mountain. Either by foot or via helicopter. Most issues now are because rescue teams dont know the condition of casualties so speed is crucial. If you know the casualty is stable, you can be a lot more careful with safely rescuing the casualty.

This is amazing, have been a fan and followed you guys for a while now. My advice is add a very lightweight exoeskeleton that absorbs the pressure from the jets so everyone can use it, and you can make this a lot more mainstream. Also in the longer horizon i would work on a lightweight suit that could absorb pressure/imapact to save user from injury from at least small falls.
