The British Royal Marines recently showed off a video testing out a jet suit that allows the wearer — in this case a trained soldier — to lift off from a boat, soar through the air, and safely land on another moving ship.

The jet suit itself is made by Gravity Industries and is being tested as a means of quickly boarding enemy vessels on search and seizure missions. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the jet suit demonstrated in a military capacity. Just last month, the Netherlands Maritime Special Operations Force also partnered with the company to carry out a similar exercise.

Military operations aren’t the only arena that could benefit from a human in a flying suit. Gravity Industries has also tested out its Iron Man contraption for applications in disaster relief and, on a less practical level, in sport.

Though it’s not likely you’ll see hobbyists flying around in a jet suit any time soon, the pockets of defense apparatuses tend to run deep, so there’s at least a possibility Gravity Industries’ jet suit might make a non-demonstration impact at some point in the near future, which means...
