The cool thing I see really about using the suit for this is that even if you can't carry lots of medical equipment to stabilize the injured person in the field for transport, you can carry enough to make sure they will survive long enough for the rest of the medical and rescue team to get there, like if they're bleeding out and they can't keep pressure on the wound and they might die in half an hour, you can get up there in minutes, clean and bind the injury and apply disinfectants, and then when the rest of the team gets there the pilot has got the patient mostly stabilized and hopefully more calm and with a basic diagnosis to save time on the diagnosis before further treatment can really get started.

As an average (well, probably below average, really) hill walker, and having climbed Helvellyn on the route just to the north of the track flown, I'm even more impressed by the foot response time of 70 minutes.

@tylerolejnicak5481

The 70 minute remark was for traditional mountain heli SAR response time. I think the point they were making is you could get someone (probably a trained medic) at the base or decently far up the mountain and strap one of these onto them and even in low vis conditions where helis might not fly the jet suit guy can. What that would mean would be a trained medic being able to ascend a mountain quickly and stabilize someone who's critically injured far quicker than waiting on a heli SAR. It would buy the victim more time than they would've had relying on just the heli rescue.

That's amazing! And what's more, on the memorial stone, it mentions the famous Australian airman Bert Hinkler as one of the two pilots who landed the first aircraft on a mountain in Great Britain at that spot in 1926. So good that it was an Aussie who did it!

I love how the stone tablet writer even included “after a short stay flew back to woodford” when writing in stone.

The longer the message, the more money they made. It took a lot of skill and patience to make a good engraver. They tended to push for as much detail as possible to make it more worthwhile. Nowadays it's easier with CNC doing the job, but the same costing principles apply.

I never thought about this use for jet suits. This is actually really interesting.

I can imagine a scenario where two SAR technicians head out looking for someone lost on a mountain. They find the person and relay the location to their base where a payload drone is launched autonomously to bring them medical supplies. When the drone gets close enough a SARTECH takes over flying it in manual mode to land it. The supplies are used to keep the patient alive until the weather clears or worse case, a folding stretcher is used to carry them back down. In the further future the drone might even be able to air lift the patient!

advanced electromagnetic jetpack systems exist. as of today, humanity's understanding of propulsion technology coupled with aerodynamics is unrivaled throughout history. it is likely patented behind private sector firewalls that function to prevent even the slightest of public information leaks. after all, granting an individual the ability to fly laterally in the air instead of being bound to earth on 2D plains would be revolutionary; even moreso than the internet.

I often wonder what it's like operating in one of these jet suits. It seems like it's akin to being stationary between a pair of parallel bars. How much elbow joint fatigue is experienced? if you're in one and you lock your elbows, can you be at risk of passing out?

Here is a little info on it: That’s one way to make an exit… 007’s jet pack from Thunderball was built by Bell-Textron and originally designed for the US army - but was deemed too dangerous to use. “You could only fly for 20 seconds, then you ran out of fuel and you had nothing,” said Production Designer Ken Adam.

@@Stand.Your.Ground. They can't get smaller unless they're able to provide much higher amounts of thrust for the same amount of fuel and still be able to handle the heat in smaller packaging. The reason these jet packs work, is because turbines this small have existed already for at least 20 years. Someone just finally decided to use 2 turbines on each hand with a fuel tank for a backpack. To even get the pack half as small, you're looking at increasing the turbine efficiency by over 100%. In modern engineering, thats ultimately unheard of when you're talking about using fossil fuels. They have no use as a military application because they create so much noise - the enemy will hear you before you ever get close enough to start walking. And its heavy, expensive equipment that you wont be able to carry back to base without some sort of recovery team. I dont see how a squad of jet troopers would be useful. Their hands would be busy with the turbines and it would just make them easy targets to be shot out of the sky. Perhaps only to have a dedicated squad to rapidly climb some mountains to get better elevation perhaps to see into the next valley while you wait for the rest of your detachment to make it up to you on foot - but again, noise. If you've ever been hiking, you'd realize that even at far distances something as relatively quiet as a propeller plane flying at 10,000 feet can have its exhaust echo throughout the mountains. At best, they can be used for rapid rescue for a duo or trio of EMT's moving to help an injured skier or hiker, like if they were to be deployed from a Ski Lodge sitting at the base of a mountain. Especially rescuing someone who has been buried in an avalanche. They already have similar jet packs for recreation - for use in the water, either connected to a jet-ski or with its own power source. You'd have SERIOUS liability issues as a company to offer this for covering the ground.

@@MajorJimPlays why would the route have to be included in the timing? Its about travel time after exiting the car. You use the car to get as close as possible to a casualty and fly the rest of the way. It doesnt need to have a lot of range. You can use drones to locate the target, drive as close as possible to it and use the jetpack to get quickly to the casualty to provide first aid. The beauty of this machine is that you are able to reach difficult places like cliffs extremely fast (fly down instead of having to abseil for example) and you dont need a lot of landing space. I bet that one square meter of somewhat flat terrain is enough for an experienced pilot. For boarding ships this thing is not really useful. For quickly getting to difficult to reach places by foot, but short lines through the air, this is really valuable. If someone has a heart attack on the summit of a peak, and the only way to get there normally is walking the last kilometer up a steep mountain, then that person would probably not recieve the right help on time. Strap this device to a doctor/medic on the other hand, with an aed and a first aid kit, that person may live another day thanks to the right help which was able to arrive in time

Great video...👍

Very cool video. I will need more to convince me of the practicality. Still very cool

this system has such a variety of potential uses. so cool to watch it unfold. i had the same thought as other commenters though that for this distance, bracing the arm mounted jets with some sort of dynamic support would probably be much less fatiguing. the capability to use or retract this mounts would probably be best however.
