「鋼鐵人」穿著噴氣飛行裝為比賽做準備

噴氣飛行裝發明者理查德·布朗寧計劃籌辦國際競速系列比賽，類似於紅牛特技飛行競賽與鋼鐵人的相結合。明星和體育名人將一起在各地壯觀的海濱上空挑戰物理極限。

0:20 The plan will see pilots racing the 1500bhp Jet Suits against each other and the clock over a slalom course marked out with floating gates.
在這項賽事中，飛行員將在設有浮門的障礙迴旋賽道上，穿上一千五百制動馬力的噴氣飛行裝與對手進行計時賽。

2018年，布朗寧穿上噴氣飛行裝在拉古納水上樂園（Lagoona Park），以每小時32英里的速度創下了首個金氏世界紀錄。而在2019年，這一紀錄被刷新至每小時85英里。

0:48 “It's just going to be a really fascinating melting pot of human and machine against each other seeing how fast or how fast and how far you can push those boundaries but in a safe environment over water,” Browning said.
噴射飛行裝發明人 理查·布朗寧：「這將是一個非常引人入勝的大集合，人類加上機器相互對抗，看看在安全的水上環境中，能把速度和距離突破至什麼境界。」
