- Two Jet Suit pilots, Richard Browning and Gravity SAR lead, Rowan Poulter, flew to the @buxtonmountainrescue1102 exercise 'casualty' in 1min 24 seconds. The route included steep terrain and would usually take 20 minutes by foot to reach the same location, successfully showcasing the Jet Suits unique ability to rapidly deploy a first responder to hard to access locations.
More to come!

You should add equipment carrying drones that are programmed to follow the same flight path as the pilot. That way the pilot can already be at the scene providing aid and the necessary equipment will just follow along.
DJI entered the chat
Why not a drone that can airlift the person if they are able to be moved and it follows Ironman back to base?
@@NR-rv8rz Why not a Rescue Helicopter?
@@bigutubefan2738 I think there just isn't the budget for that and it takes a very long time to get them mobilized.
Also, they can't land on very steep terrain.
What if you could program the Jetpack to fly in tandem like a drone and have two of them carrying the shared burden of the load? Some sort of harness connector between them acting as a horizontal gurney.
Absolutely loving your constant progress Richard...... bloody brilliant 👍✌️🇬🇧
Outstanding! Following Gravity Industries' progress with great interest. This is a fantastic use of the jet suit.
I see the main use case in flying to and back from the pub. I don’t think there’s a legal alcohol limit for this kind of vehicle, and you can’t be stopped anyways.
Can't be stopped? I think trees and buildings would beg to differ.
@@MJHAZE are you telling me the trees are in with the cops?
@@Michaelfirefoxx It was supposed to be a joke lol. When you drink and drive you are more likely to get in a crash. I'm willing to bet it's not much different flying one of these after the pub. Flying under the influence (FUI) increases risk of crash, hit a tree, you go splat!! 🍸✈🌳💥🫠
@@MJHAZE ...I understood that. And made a follow up joke.
Stunning and fantastic
I felt the uphill scenario in fogg was more unique to the jet suit but a side by side comparison is also interesting and worth investigating.
Absolutely BADASS! I've followed with great interest since seeing you guys flying with the RN. Just terrific and so many possible applications. Can't wait to see more! Btw Dubai was an amazing showcase and would highly recommend people who haven't yet seen it to take a look
My daughter lives in Marina, Dubai and said it was even more impressive first hand. Wish I was 20 years younger to have a go.
I did not fully understand one detail: does the lifting force from the turbine completely fall on the shoulders of a pilot? 😯😅
Or do the turbines have movable mechanical parts and they are attached to the backpack?
There is a much larger and more powerful single turbine in the back pack
I especially super like this type of rescuing activity.❤❤❤👍👍👍
Yes they can get to people fast, but they cant take them away with them
Very cool.
Something about us brits. We had Concorde when everyone else was shlubbing back and forth on regular airliners. We had Jump Jets before anyone.
I can see a scenario where every rescue department has Gravity Jet Pack team members and people in other countries walking for hours to get to people are wondering why they don't have the same.
Brits had the first hovercraft also
😳😳😳meu Deus 👍👍👍olha 😊
Wonder what the max altitude for the jet packs are as these could also possibly be used to bring spare O2 to climbers stuck in the death zone on Mt Everest???, ie to move up from base camp clickly
The max altitude is shown in every video. 2 meters!!!!!!
@@broman6662Is that it? 2 meters? Hmm 🤔
@@joshuacarpenter8263 No its a bit more then 2 meters. But they always fly just a few meters up. In the beginning of this channel they said that it is because if something happens. I think that if they would fly straight up the fuel is gone in seconds.
And if they still after these years havent done much progress, maybe its time to say that this project is dead
@@broman6662 That makes sense. The higher up, the more thrust is needed and the more fuel is wasted.
I think you're right. The idea is sound but the execution is primitive. Anti-gravity science exists out there if the CEO is interested in pursuing that angle of the technology.
Edit: I believe MIT successfully demonstrated a craft that runs off electrostatics. It hovers well above 2 meters. Uses no fuel. I'd be putting R&D dollars into that.
Awesome!
May I ask can the Jet Suits still be flown in foggier, wetter or windier conditions than these? MR Teams operate in all weathers. Amazing work though, nonetheless.
No they can only be flown 2 meters above the ground in clear conditions. There will never be a jet suit that can do what it is supposed to
Why is my first thought jump troops from Red Alert 2?
Everyone are you know this jepket..please tell me
So are responders using this for real now or nah?
Nope, the risk reward ratio just isn't acceptable for your average mountain rescue team, at present.
I still wait for the day where they give this jetsuit autonomous robotic arms to balance the jets while leaving human hands free. The arms could be controlled by a program that calculates the position of the human and balance itself as the person flies in the suit.
I'd ponder combining like 4 of these jet packs together in a rack(?), with one pilot in the front at the control... and a basic backboard placement secured in the rear of said jet pack rescue cab ?
I am surprised you guys aren't wearing goggles or safety glasses. A bug or dirt in the eye would make for a big problem.
They fly slow 2 meters above the ground. Who needs safety goggles then!?
@@broman6662 They can't use their hands to do anything but fly. If they lose vision mid flight, I imagine that would not be good.
Remember, never fly higher than you are willing to fall (Hang Gliding Theorem).
Yup, it was true in the sport's infancy, but things progressed quickly.
This is called future ❤ fire my dream come true
Super cool project. Why's it called gravity though? Shouldn't it be anti-gravity or gravity fighters?
why does it look like they're flying in minecraft creative mode lol. me and the boys off to find some flat land to build our base at
for Mountain service best way to help.
Realistically, this product is being marketed completely incorrectly. This is a hyper-expensive novelty toy for the ultra-rich, but obviously that doesn't sell well. No small-scale mountain rescue organization is going to be willing to shell out $440k for a single extremely dangerous "flight suit" to use in safety patrols. That's a tough sell even to the military, the utility you could reasonably expect to get out of one of these things is extremely minimal, at a massive tradeoff in both safety and presumably operational time/range. The 'jet suit race' set in dubai is where the use case for this product starts and ends.
It looks highly portable, while able to cover an impressive amount of arduous ground in short time. The inherit danger looks to stem more from potential pilot error than device malfunction. If they are able to knock down that stupidly prohibitive price point to something more reasonable, what rescue team wouldn't be chomping at the bit to being able to literally fly?
@@Michaelfirefoxx In a sense this is like saying "the majority of car crashes are a result of user error rather than mechanical failure." While true, it doesn't change the fact that car manufacturers need to invest obscene amounts of money into development of safety features.
@@brandonlower65 i see your point, there is very little the company can do to make this thing super safe, so the training would have to be extensive. It definitely wouldnt be something that your average paramedic would just learn as "part of the trade"
Это игрушка,
Durasi videonya kurang panjang Pak...
I hope you do well,but the government don’t want to admit what you’ve done is a great idea,hope they support you
I don't get this. If there's a medical emergency needing immediate care, the jetpack dudes are still going to have to arrive on the scene via a vehicle, strap up and then fly over. Why not just drive the vehicle straight to the site?
About the best use case I can think of might be to rescue avalanche victims from a snow slope. Try thinking of that scenario instead of this one.
Ok, so you have shown these things for years now. Start mass produce or just SHUT UP!!!!!
It's all about cost and benefits... this thing is still too expensive, simple as that. Without large investment they can't bring down the unit production cost to make this a profitable business. It's obvious that all these videos are essentially promotional advertisements to attract large buyers... but so far to no avail, since one of these jet pack things could go for around half a million dollars, for that price tag potential buyers (like the forest rescue corps or something, which would be the target audience of this video) might as well invest in a helicopter, since even though a helicopter is a bit more pricey (say a million or more), but it can carry way more people and resources to and from the scene, whereas this thing can deliver one medic to a stranded person in a short time but then what? He could render first aid, but that's it, he can't actually transport the wounded off the mountain, they would still have to wait for heavier equipment (such as... you guessed it, a helicopter) to arrive to get the target out... so why would anyone spend half a million just to put a band aid on someone. As for its other promotional videos such as the one for the royal marines, my guess is they still think it's too noisy for this to be effective as a stealth vehicle secretly sneaking their operators in and out of a location, so only if they could make this thing very quiet, I'm sure the military would be more interested, and a military contract is all you need to get your mass production started... But looking at their royal marine demonstrations this is still a problem as of now. So this is basically just a very expensive joy ride with little practical applications, my assessment is that a lot of interested parties took a look at it and decided this was not worth it, their money could be spent somewhere else for better results. If only he could sell this for say around 50 thousand a piece instead of 500 thousand, I'm sure he is already a billionaire lol, but alas, it's always about money, so he would be better off focusing on aggressively cutting down production cost instead of pushing people to shell out half a mil on a fancy toy. Jet pack technology is nothing new, I've seen this as early as 1984 during one of the Olympic opening ceremonies, but the reason they are not everywhere today is just that, too expensive and not much use except for fun.
@@lynntaylor349 ok, so they should just shut up
@@broman6662 If he can't bring the production cost down before he gets a big contract he might as well, no one is gonna pay that much for so little on an industrial scale, so what he left with is the few high end buyers from the bored rich guys in the middle east. But never say never, just like SpaceX was blowing up left and right in the 2000s and early 2010s and it was at one point very close to bankruptcy, yet once they figured out how the technology worked the average cost per launch went way down and now they are the global standard. I would enjoy seeing this thing become more widely used, but first he needs to fix the cost problem and noise problem, not promoting an overpriced product as is.
Not sure how you can reduce the price of jet fuel either.
I am struggling to understand the practicality of this. Kind of looks cool but even if I owned one, there's not a lot I could do with it.
@@joshuacarpenter8263 -- I feel the only way to make this somewhat economical would be to combine multiple such jet packs together within a single airframe to act as a short-range shuttle of sorts for 1 or more paying passengers, or critical cargo that could be delivered cheaper than say a helicopter could fly the similar sortie...
Cool idea but not real world useful.
