In the Netherlands, a naval special forces exercise for the first time used a gravity jet suit to get on a ship captured by a simulated enemy.
The jet suit used during the exercise consisted of a fuel pack, two pairs of jet engines that are attached to the arms, and another engine in the backpack. The device allows you to fly for 5-10 minutes, accelerating to 137 kilometers per hour.
During the exercise, the pilot took off from a high-speed boat and landed in the air on board a merchant ship captured by intruders. In flight, the "jet man" was ahead of the helicopter and the attack boat.
Thus, tests have shown that the device can be used on the high seas, and the pilot can land and take off from boats and small vessels with relative ease.
