Flying along like Iron Man

摘要

Inventor and entrepreneur Richard Browning turned to RS Components for help with developing an innovative exoskeleton suit he believes will allow wearers to fly like the Marvel superhero Iron Man.The Daedalus suit positions gas turbine jet engines on wearers' wrists and hips and uses movements of the body to counter gravity, support the flyer off the ground and generate directional thrust for flight. "A huge part of this has been about rapidly prototyping things; going through the RS catalogue; finding the components really quickly; and getting them on the workbench and out in the field in a matter of days.That's been critical to this journey," Browning said.
