This Man Flew Like Iron Man In Dubai With A Personal Jet Suit

We have just taken a step closer to have autonomous human flights.

A video made public by Jetman Dubai recorded the whole endeavor of pilot Vince Reffet wearing a carbon-fiber personal jet suit and flew for 1.8 km. The venue of this event is in Dubai and the pilot was heading to Jumeirah Beach Residence, as shared by the company.

Jetman Dubai said that in eight seconds, the pilot was able to reach a height of 100 meters. He made it to 200 meters in 12 seconds, 500 meters in 19 seconds, and 1000m in 30 seconds, all while maintaining a speed of 130 knots.

While this is not the first time Vince Reffet made a flight with a personal jet suit, this time, he could take off from the ground, hover for a while and then shoot into the air.

The company also said that the device could reach a speed of 400km/h and allowed the pilot to change directions, hover, and perform loops.

The market of personal flying suits is more hectic now than ever before so Jetman Dubai is definitely not the only company that is working to create a super-fast suit. Before this endeavor in Dubai, Richard Browning has made what is now the world’s fastest jet suit. His creation is an incredible achievement in engineering and aerospace, just like the suit of Jetman Dubai.

So what does this mean for us? Well, we might see a personal jet suit makes it to the market sooner than we thought.
