Learn how the Jet Suit, currently able to perform speeds in excess of 50mph and technically capable of reaching an altitude of 12,000ft (although for safety purposes it is flown lower), is made in the next instalment of The Online Engineering Summit.
Join us for a live presentation and Q&A with Gravity Industries at the next installment of the Protolabs Network Online Engineering Summit!
6pm CET/11am CST on May 20th 2020!
About Gravity Industries
[Gravity Industries](https://gravity.co/) designs, builds and flies Jet Suits, pioneering a new era of human flight. The company, which is scaling towards an International Race Series, was founded to challenge perceived boundaries in human aviation and to inspire others to dare to ask “What if?”
Launched in March 2017, the business secured $650,000 investment within the first two months from Tim & Adam Draper, Tim best known for his early investments in Baidu Inc., Tesla and Skype. Founder and Chief Test Pilot, Richard Browning, leveraged cutting edge technology to reimagine human flight, forging an elegant partnership between mind, body and machine.
This vision led to the creation of the world’s first patented Jet Suit. The Jet Suit currently can perform speeds in excess of 50mph and is technically capable of reaching an altitude of 12,000ft (although for safety purposes it is flown lower).
Gravity Industries’ extended team - made up of over 30 diverse and talented individuals, from engineers to pilots, across five different countries - has enabled the brand to be experienced by over a billion people globally to date, with video views alone running at more than 60 million within seven days of launch. In the first 18 months Gravity executed over 60 flight events across 21 countries including four TED talks.
About the presenter
[Sam Rogers](https://www.linkedin.com/in/greeneggsandsam/) is the Additive Design Lead and a Jet Suit pilot at Gravity Industries.
Sam focuses on design optimisation and additive manufacture of the Gravity Jet Suit; which is now fully 3D printed in metal and polymer.
His passion and expertise stems from growing up making pyrotechnics, building solid fuelled rocket motors, high power model rockets and radio-controlled aircraft. This led him to work on 3D printed rocket engines prior to joining Gravity. He has a degree in Product Design and Technology (BSc) from Loughborough University.
