Fly like Iron Man are now only a fictional story that happened in the film. But, with the development of technology, ordinary people can take action to close the Iron Man of the height to suit the space.
As quoted Dailymail, Saturday, May 25, 2013, the company space origin Baltimore, USA, Solar System Express, and biomedical design company, Juxtopia, is developing a special outfit the space they call RL Mark VI. With that outfit, people can jump from beyond Earth orbit. Amazingly, the dress will be designed to jump from space, so it can land on Earth without using a parachute.
SepatuDua rocket companies that imitate extreme jumper, Felix Baumgartner. In October last year, Baumgartner jumped from a height of 38 969 feet above ground level. After a free fall 4 minutes 19 seconds, he opened his chute until it can be landed to Earth.
As the trial MARK VI, the team of Solar System Express and Juxtopia use by Baumgartner jumps.
The difference, MARK VI armor is equipped with sky diving technology with small aerospike engine attached to the shoe. This machine is a kind of rocket boots.
Engine is what will make the jumper to glide, move and landed without the help of a parachute.
The shirt design is also equipped with advanced facilities, glasses augmented reality (AR). The working principle is similar to Google glasses Glass.
Glasses that can provide altitude information, the level of acceleration, using GPS location, and the Federal Aviation Administration's radar, as well as track data during jumping.
In fact, the device may indicate heart rate, temperature, and respond to voice commands to filter out engine noise and wind. Sophisticated, the glasses can also tell if there is a problem with shoes that interfere with the process of landing.
Unfortunately, these glasses are no facilities like Google Glass video mode. Instead, it uses technology Optical glasses See Through the same function as the Head Up Display on the jet fighter pilot.
Solar System Express will test two methods of this landing. First, it will try feet-down method, by utilizing the aerospike engine kicks from a height of about 100 meters.
The second method, which is used the same way Tony Stark, the main character in Iron Man, which use energy-wing outfit that serves to slow the leap.
That way, the space hopper could set upright position ten meters in height above the ground before turning on the driving. In the first trial, it will still use traditional parachute.
Furthermore, Solar System Express will test the method entirely on landing in July 2016. With the trial, expected in late 2016 RL Mark VI armor could be produced.
