Jet Suit rocket backpack manufacturer Gravity Industries and Dubai Sports Council announced a month ago the launch of the Jet Suit Race Series, the first major Jet Suit competition to be held in Dubai, which will see participants wearing the company’s jetpacks. A similar event was previously held during last year’s Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix, but only three drivers took part and the race was more of a demonstration.

Japanese company ALI Technologies had already started selling extreme aircraft, but strict regulations and the astronomical price of the flying engine meant that business did not go as planned. However, bankruptcy is not the end of the story: a new and much cheaper version of the flying motorcycle is in the pipeline.

In the burgeoning field of urban air mobility, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into eVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing vehicles) heralds a transformative era. These aircraft, poised to redefine urban transportation, are not mere figments of futuristic imagination but tangible manifestations of advanced technology. AI’s role is multifaceted, underpinning crucial aspects such as navigation, obstacle avoidance, and split-second decision making.

NASA’s new passenger craft will make ocean crossings shorter than the time it takes to watch a movie

Imagine soaring from New York to London in less time than it takes to finish an average movie. NASA’s recent groundbreaking venture is aimed at revolutionizing transatlantic travel. They’ve embarked on the creation of a supersonic passenger jet that boasts a blistering top speed of Mach 4 (approximately 4,900 km/h). To put this in perspective, this not only doubles Concorde’s impressive Mach 2 (2,450 km/h) speed but also outpaces the famed SR-71 Blackbird spy plane that had a design speed of Mach 3.2 (3,920 km/h).
