First aid in England is testing the jet suit

First aid in the UK is testing the capabilities of the jet suit, a Gravity Industries suit that could quickly throw the rescuer to a remote crash site.

The jet suit appeared in 2017 as a flight for hobby. Inventor Richard Browning and his company Gravity Industries proved that it can be done and διάσωσης και να βοηθήσει να λάβετε γρήγορα βοήθεια σε μία απομακρυσμένη και δυσπρόσιτη .

Working with the UK's Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS), Browning flew to the "victim" in a remote mountain location in just 90 seconds, and it would take much longer for rescuers to reach feet up there.

The sooner a rescuer can reach a victim, the sooner they can stabilize it and seek helicopter assistance or other support. Such as said GNAAS business director Any Mawson, this technology could allow the team to reach some patients much faster than ever. In many cases this would be a relief to the patient's pain. In some cases, it would even save their lives.

Το jet suit χρησιμοποιεί microjets που τροφοδοτούνται από καύσιμο για τζετ ή ντίζελ, οι οποίοι είναι τοποθετημένοι στους βραχίονες και την πλάτη του πιλότου, με μια οθόνη στο κεφάλι του που δείχνει βασικά δεδομένα, όπως ώθηση και καύσιμα που απομένουν. Ο Μπράουνινγκ είπε ότι ο κίνδυνος πυρκαγιάς είναι ελάχιστος επειδή το καύσιμο δεν είναι ιδιαίτερα εκρηκτικό ή εύφλεκτο και ο πιλότος παραμένει σχετικά κοντά στο έδαφος σε περίπτωση of damage.

Although the test was successful, it will probably take some time until we see rescuers in a jet suit. The Gravity model has a flight time of only 5-10 minutes, requires very specialized training and the pilot must be in good enough physical condition to be able to balance his weight with his hands. It would also be limited to terrain that is not too steep, because the pilot must land perpendicular to the ground. Costumes are not cheap either, as Browning is sold one recently for $ 438.000.

However, this is a small part of how much a helicopter costs, including pilots, fuel and maintenance, and Gravity is working to make the costumes cheaper and easier to use.
