Three years ago, British inventor Richard Browning broke his own speed record by flying his jetpack invention nearly 100 miles per hour. According to a Daily Mail article published in 2019, Browning more than doubled his previous record of 32 mph.
The Lake District of the United Kingdom is set to equip paramedics with their own Jet suits for emergency response because of that high speed. One member of the Great North Air Ambulance staff has completed training to use the suit alone, and two more will start soon, according to a report published yesterday.
We are the world's first jet suit paramedics, but for us it is about delivering patient care.
The idea is to get paramedics to patients in need of emergency care faster than ever, which could mean more people survive.
There are other companies that create jet packs for emergency or government use cases.
David Mayman of JetPack Aviation has already sold two units to an undisclosed military client in South Asia, and says the future of medical and emergency response could very well be aloft his own super-fast Speeders, which look sort of like flying motorcycles.
It's great to see another entry into the market, and we hope it will save lives. It's unlikely that we'll see a lot of flying paramedics soon because of the time and money involved.
The Iron Man suits would force the pilots to careen through an obstacle course.
