3D printing: advanced jet-powered suits to help paramedics

First modification:

The suit has been in development since 2017 and in its latest version, printed in 3D, has two mini jet engines on each arm and three in the rear backpack that can reach speeds of 136 kilometers per hour at over 3,650 meters, however, training is carried out at a faster pace. low and in a much lower place.

Innovative jet powered suit for paramedics made in the UK. It is a development of the company Gravity Industries and allows access to areas where ordinary human access is impossible.

Richard Browning, founder and CEO of Gravity said, “This whole journey began with a seemingly ridiculous vision of you could make a human fly, not by being in a vehicle but simply by adding minimalistic technology? And I think we’ve gone further than I ever imagined. But the really exciting thing is that we are already at the beginning of the journey. There’s a lot more we can do and since these are all 3D prints, we practice with designs almost every two weeks. so we have much more to offer.”

“The challenge with winter and rain is that the water clearly hits your face and gets into your eyes when you move at a certain speed and fighting it can be a bit difficult at times but it really is a very stable device that you can maneuver or drive safely,” explains Jamie. Walsh, a paramedic.

The training program takes place in the Lake District region amid extreme conditions including heavy rain and winds of up to 30 miles per hour, but is key for paramedics to learn the skills needed to use this technology in situations where they really have to deal with these situations.
