BMW Flying Suit

The BMW flying suit is that invention that many have dreamed of for years, of those ideas that seemed impossible and that one day come true. Initially, the company thought of placing the electric motor in the rear, as if it were a backpack with powers , but in the development phase the designers discovered that putting it in the front would offer many more advantages. Among them was being able to get a bigger boost .

On the other hand, the system has two thrusters whose diameter reaches thirteen centimeters. Both rotate at 25,000 revolutions per minute. It also has on and off buttons as if it were any other device. It also boasts a throttle button, as some video game characters have, and a directional pad. The motor power is 15 kW , enough for a person to move safely in the air.

Thrusters

The fact that the BMW flying suit has two propellants means that whoever uses it can fly at a speed greater than 100 kilometers per hour. Likewise, it not only influences this data, but also allows you to take a high altitude . Hence they are so interesting in this new invention.

Flight tests were swift, and the suit has already been used in the Austrian Alps . In this way, an athlete dared to jump with him from 3,000 meters high , living an incredible experience. It was obvious that someone with courage was needed to verify the effectiveness of the invention, but when you witness the video that the company has published, even one becomes envious of their daring and their skills, because everyone, on some occasion, we have wished we had that super power. Although instead of wings an electric motor is needed, the displacement is very similar, and allows us to fulfill dreams that we never imagined could come true.

Of course, there are many doubts when thinking about putting this suit on sale to the general public taking into account the speed and height it reaches. Undoubtedly, it is a very dangerous vehicle , not only for those who use it, but also for all those who are around it, as they can suffer the consequences of poor coordination. In this way, companies, which never want to be involved in circumstances of this type, such as accidents, are analyzing what possibilities there are with respect to this device .

Other flying costumes

Actually, the BMW flying suit is not the first to be unveiled, since in recent years others of the same style have been presented. One of the most prominent has been “Daedalus Suit” , which was created by Gravity Industries. This one, specifically, looks like armor, similar to the suit worn by Iron Man . So much so that it has two motors placed on each of the hips. What’s more, it also boasts four gas turbine engines, two on each arm.
