  • We've all dreamed of flying -- but for Richard Browning, flight is an obsession. He's built an Iron Man-like suit that leans on an elegant collaboration of mind, body and technology, bringing science fiction dreams a little closer to reality. Learn more about the trial and error process behind his invention and take flight with Browning in an unforgettable demo.

    Most striking is that he likens human flight to riding a bike, and after a bit, it becomes natural 👍 Well said!

    RIP to Micheal Browning. He was a true pioneer!!
    And a huge amount of respect and admiration towards Richard browning for continuing the family legacy I’m sure your father is so happy and proud to see you pushing the boundaries of science & Engineering. We now know his jet pack is even further down the line 4 years later🙏🏾.

    Going back to the boot mounted version, a feedback control system to monitor the stability, and if added to a powered exoskelaton to reduce the force needed to control the arms, this would be well on it's way to being Iron Man.

Just in 140 years they got everything just out of nowhere? Nope. Stolen from all inventions from Alexandria. It is facts 100%.

      Look for the stuff that does cover your interests and don't worry about the stuff which suits other people.
