Royal Navy test jet pack suit in incredible flying exercise

The future of warfare may look like your favorite superhero film after a Royal Marine put a jetpack through its paces by flying aboard a ship. This astonishing video echoes the Iron Man movies with marines taking off from a rig fixed on to a small boat behind HMS Tamar and flying on to its deck. The Gravity Jet Suit, from British aeronautics firm Gravity Industries, was being tested by the Navy in the English Channel for future boarding operations - with the video highlighting how the marines could easily jump from boat to boat by gliding through the air. But the suits, which cost more than £300,000, are only being trialled at this point. Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic...
