Take a look at this incredible flying suit, developed by Richard Browning from Gravity Aeronautics Engineering company.

"I have always been inspired by using technology to push boundaries and innovate. As a third generation aeronautical engineer its is in my blood to think differently about flight and the idea came from an intent to re-imagine how people can fly. It started as all great ideas do with a basic sketch of engines strapped to a body and an analysis of the actual physics behind the thrust needed to make someone fly. Of course, once we started to realize this was really possible that 'the superhero' formed a key part of the inspiration to build something real, inspirational and most importantly patentable.  

Aside from working out the mechanics of actually making the entire suit work from the building the fuel system, the engine mounts and the thrust propulsion control safety is obviously the key priority. I have designed the entire suit from the ground up to be incredibly safe, in the context of just how groundbreaking and new this is. We are in the process of securing insurance from a world class aviation insurer and more importantly, the entire system has been designed with core aviation safety principles built in.  where we have got to now is just the beginning of an entirely new category in aviation."
