☆ Dubai jet suit race: Real-life ‘superheroes’ take to the sky in inaugural event
  + stars: | 2024-03-01 | by ( Rebecca Cairns | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Against a backdrop of skyscrapers and super yachts, the airborne athletes competed in the inaugural Jet Suit Race Series, an event organized by the Dubai Sports Council and Gravity Industries, the manufacturers of the jet suit. Browning compares the 1,700-horsepower jet suit to “the power of a Bugatti Veyron” sports car in a 30-kilogram (66-pound) backpack. The jet suit uses aviation fuel or diesel, and can go at speeds of up to 136 kilometers per hour (85 miles per hour), Browning’s own record. In 2020, there was a fatal jetpack accident in Dubai, though it was not a Gravity suit.) Test pilots take off in Gravity Industries jet suits ahead of the inaugural race, in Dubai in February 2024.

☆ Why it's taken nearly 100 years to have jet packs
  + stars: | 2022-11-10 | by ( Daniel Gessner | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
So why has it taken so long to develop jet packs that can reach 1,200 feet and fly up to 10 minutes? Why has it taken almost a century for us to see real jet packs? Narrator: The arrival of small but powerful jet engines designed for model aircraft brought back an interest in the possibilities of jet packs. Less than 10 years later, companies like Gravity Industries have demonstrated what modern microturbine-powered jet packs are capable of. But it's not far-fetched to think that jet packs like Gravity's could be used for more than just recreation.
