A British company has been awarded what it claims is the world's first patent for a 'jet suit'.
Gravity Industries' multi-gas turbine engine Jet Suit has been described as a 'wearable flight system' with turbine engines mounted to the wearer's arms and back.
The Jet Suit uses five gas turbines which produce over 1,000 brake horsepower to gain flight, and can reach speeds of over 55mph (89kph).
The body suit earned a Guinness World Record in 2017 for the fastest speed in a body-controlled jet engine power suit.

The patent has given the company the right as the inventor of an apparatus enabling an individual to fly.
Company founder Richard Browning has previously demonstrated the suit in more than 20 countries around the world.
He said the firm now hoped to launch a racing series based on teams using the suit to navigate courses.
'Since launching Gravity in 2017, we have not stopped challenging the status quo,' he said.
'Restlessly pioneering developments in STEM, today's patent issuance is a giant milestone for Gravity which will enable us to continue to innovate and hopefully inspire others.
'Our current priority is the launch of a Gravity Race Series in late 2019, which will see a new cohort of diverse pilots putting their flight skills to the test, competing in teams on courses around the world.'
The Jet Suit uses five gas turbines which collectively produce over 1,000 brake horsepower to gain flight, and can reach speeds of over 55mph.

The patent, issued by the UK's Intellectual Property Office, covers: 'A wearable flight system with a number of propulsion assemblies including a left-hand propulsion assembly and a right-hand propulsion assembly worn on a user's hands and/or forearm'.
'Preferably a body propulsion assembly is provided with support for a user's waist or torso. Leg propulsion systems may also be provided.'
In documents that formed part of the patent claim, the company cited Marvel Studios' Iron Man character and his use of a wearable flight system which utilises propulsion units worn on the hands.
The firm said it was already in 'advanced discussions' with possible host cities, broadcasters and sponsors over launching its race series in the second half of 2019.
The company has also launched a STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) project in UK schools.
It's mission, said the Gravity Industries website, is to 'inspire innovation and creativity in the STEM domain and encourage engagement and participation in STEM subjects prior to GCSE subject selection and beyond'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
