The first Gravity human flying suit was sold for 300,000 euros. Current versions of the suit sell for $440,000.
They will add 3D printed wings for more efficient and faster flight.
They will add AR displays.
They will create an electric battery version.
It has set a speed record of 32 miles per hour. It has an altitude limit of 12,000 feet. Inventor Richard Browning hovers only a few meters above the ground when using it, for safety reasons.
They plan to develop human flight races.
The suit uses four liters of fuel a minute in the hover (position) so you can fly for three or four minutes quite easily. They have got another version that will fly for about nine minutes. So the range of the suits is currently about 2-5 miles.
The suit weighs 59 pounds.

In the vid he mentions he has the equivalent energy of 1.3 F1 racing cars strapped to him and the intensity of the chest vibrations feels like it. Seems like an esoteric toy or military tool. What is the failure rate on those turbines? It seems like it could take out your entire arm at least.
