The dream of unfettered flight has sprung to life through Gravity Industries’ jet-pack invention, the Mk2 flying suit. Richard Browning, airborne visionary and test pilot, described the experience to Robb Report as akin to the liberating sensation of flying witnessed in dreams: “You are unshackled by the earthly binds, soaring as an extension of your own will, not just a passenger of machinery.”

Browning’s mission transcends aviation; it’s about empowering humanity to rise into the skies. With the development of a swifter, mightier Mk2 model, he paves the runway for an exhilarating flight race series.
Evolving the Vision of Personal Flight
Once depicted in science fiction as hefty rockets, jet-packs have metamorphosed into streamlined suits. The Mk2, Browning asserts, is the apex of this evolution. “It’s more than just flying; it’s transposing the human body and mind into an aerial entity,” he explains. This integration of bio-mimetics sets it apart, morphing the body into a flight apparatus, piloted by human instinct and finesse.
A Foray into Aerial Dynamics
The Mk2 flying suit, a marvel complete with duo jet engines affixed to each arm and a single engine mounted on the back, promises an intuitive flight experience, all while necessitating proper training. Having already elevated over 60 aficionados at the Goodwood Estate, and with plans to extend this airborne elation to Los Angeles, Browning also hints at an electric tethered iteration for more accessible training opportunities.
The Next Chapter: Mk3
Flying not just in defiance of gravity but also setting world records, the Mk3 incarnation of the suit boosts flight duration and carries a substantial payload. Boasting seven minutes in the air, Browning unveils the trajectory toward an enhanced wing system promising to extend these heavenly escapades.
Specialized Leasing Elevates Practicality
Eschewing retail, Gravity encourages leases to specialized sectors: rescue, military, and entertainment, drawing parallels with leasing high-performance racecars. Yet, there exists an exclusive circle of patrons so captivated by the potential of personal flight that they opt to commission their Mk2 suits, housed at Gravity’s facility for their liberated indulgence.
The Race to the Skies
For the adrenaline-seekers among Gravity’s clientele, the upcoming race series beckons. Aspiring pilots are beckoned to enlist via Gravity’s website for an unprecedented competition in the skies, raising the bar for personal aviation sports in 2021.
