  • We've all dreamed of flying -- but for Richard Browning, flight is an obsession. He's built an Iron Man-like suit that leans on an elegant collaboration of mind, body and technology, bringing science fiction dreams a little closer to reality. Learn more about the trial and error process behind his invention and take flight with Browning in an unforgettable demo.
    The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

    Most striking is that he likens human flight to riding a bike, and after a bit, it becomes natural 👍 Well said!

    RIP to Micheal Browning. He was a true pioneer!!
    And a huge amount of respect and admiration towards Richard browning for continuing the family legacy I’m sure your father is so happy and proud to see you pushing the boundaries of science & Engineering. We now know his jet pack is even further down the line 4 years later🙏🏾.

      +Kb A I totally agree. TED have just started branching out in they're interests; they still cover much of what they used to. Do you complain each time a new tampon hits the market, if you're a man? Do you complain when they change ingredients in cat food, if you don't have a cat?
      Look for the stuff that does cover your interests and don't worry about the stuff which suits other people.

    Incredibly impractical. This thing needs Segway style balance control but in 3D. Also how long can you support yourself with your arms? Backpack mounting would be much more sensible. You could then use your arms in the same way to control the thing. I always imagined Iron Man's suit to be a rigid exoskeleton that carries the weight of itself including it's thrust, so it would never exhaust your muscles.

      zackalzar1 usually he is more in the limelight, so I was unsure it was him as he was shown for less than a second.

    Why does he not attach more than 1 turbine jet on each leg?
    EG: 3 turbine jets symmetrically on each leg,so that no net torque is exerted,and the thrust intensity is greater closer to the ground?
