Iron Men.
When I saw the title ‘Royal Navy Tests Out Futuristic Iron Man Style Jet Packs’, I immediately assumed they were going to be incredibly underwhelming. You know, like those pony water cannons you can strap to your feet that propel you skywards for a good 3 seconds before drilling you back down in to the ocean. But I had to park my cynicism, as these actually look pretty impressive. This video of the Royal Marines’ trial of the suits was released this week by the company who make them, Gravity Industries. Which is a strange name, given that it seems odd to name your company after the very thing your product is fighting against. That’s like calling an abattoir ‘Happy Cows Industries’ or something. Although I bet that actually exists somewhere… Regardless, these look like a significant leap forwards in making life that little bit more like a marvel movie.
