Moment soldiers fly through air over NY harbour using JET PACKS and land on HMS Queen Elizabeth

Video shows the amazing moment when members of the Royal Navy flew jetpacks over New York Harbor and landed on the battleship Queen Elizabeth.

The military soars above the harbor as they make their way to HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Royal Navy’s largest and most powerful ship of all time.

Footage shows the servicemen smiling as they fly across the Atlantic with their helmet-driven weapon carrier and tactical suits waving the Union Jack flag while passengers on other ships stare in awe.

The flights, powered by innovative technology from Gravity Industries, use more than 1,000 horsepower of jet engine power to give people a flying experience “similar to the real Ironman.”

The spectacle was part of the Atlantic Future Forum (AFF) – a defense conference focusing on Anglo-American military, political and strategic relations that was held on the British warship.

The British manufacturer Gravity Industries successfully presented its so-called jetsuits during the AFF last month.

Alex Wilson, an aeronautical engineer, was one of the military personnel who circled the harbor during the revolutionary flight.

Reminiscent of Marvel superhero Iron Man, the suits can reach speeds of over 85 mph and can fly for more than 10 minutes.

“The team and I are realizing the vision of building Gravity into a world-class aerospace engineering company, challenging the perceived boundaries in human aviation and inspiring a generation to ask ‘what if…’ Founder and Chief Test Pilot Richard Browning said.

Browning served with the British Royal Marines before becoming a jetpack tycoon. In 2020, he flew his own 5-engine jetpack suit around the HMS Queen Elizabeth.

To date, Gravity has been experienced by more than 1 billion people worldwide. The Royal Navy has been trialling the concept of Jet Suit assault teams for about two years.

HMS Queen Elizabeth was in New York to host the two-day AFF, which has been described as a ‘defence, security, trade and technology summit organized by the British Government’.

The forum wanted to examine “international security and the future technologies that will shape the next decade and beyond.”

Officials also sought to “strengthen the trade and economic pillars of the Euro-Atlantic alliance and strengthen our security and defense partnerships with like-minded, democratic allies.”

The 65,000-ton HMS Queen Elizabeth arrived in New York on September 25 and dropped anchor within sight of the Statue of Liberty.

The £3.2bn aircraft carrier departed from its home base in Portsmouth earlier in September to act as a stand-in for sister ship, HMS Prince of Wales – which was intended to sail to America but close to the Isle of Wight broke down after leaving.

With a length of 280 meters, a lifespan of half a century and a cockpit of 1.2 hectares, HMS Queen Elizabeth is Britain’s largest and most powerful warship ever built.

Here are the facts and figures behind the ship that officially entered service with the Royal Navy on December 7, 2017

HMS Queen Elizabeth, pictured, weighs some 65,000 tons and has a top speed of 25 knots and a four-acre cockpit

• The aircraft carrier weighs 65,000 tons and has a top speed of more than 25 knots.
• A number of shipyards across the country were involved in the construction, including Govan and Scotstoun in Glasgow, Appledore in Devon, Cammell Laird in Birkenhead, Wirral, A&P on the Tyne in Newcastle and Portsmouth.
• A total of 10,000 people worked on the ship, which was sectioned at shipyards in the UK and transported to Rosyth, Fife, where it was assembled.
• It is the second Royal Navy ship to be named Queen Elizabeth.
• The ship has a crew of about 700, which increased to 1,600 when the full complement of F-35B jets and Crowsnest helicopters came on board.
• The ship contains 364,000 meters of pipe and measures 56 meters from keel to masthead, four meters more than Niagara Falls.
• Facilities on board include a chapel, a medical center and a 12-bed ward staffed with general practitioners, a nurse and medical assistants, as well as a dentist and dental nurse.
• There are also five gyms on the warship, including a cardiovascular suite, two free weight rooms, and a boxing gym.
• Regular fitness circuit sessions and sports activities such as basketball and tug-of-war are held in the hangar and cockpit, with weights and other items stowed in the cockpit ramp.
• The captain of the ship was Angus Essenhigh
• There are five galleys on the warship where the food is cooked and the people on board eat their meals every day. This includes two main galleys, the bridge brass and a crew refreshment bar.
• The onboard distribution network manages enough energy to power 30,000 electric kettles or 5,500 family homes.
• The cockpit is 280 meters long and 70 meters wide, enough space for three football fields.
• The entire 700 ship party can get a meal within 90 minutes, at action stations 45 minutes.
• Recreational areas enjoyed by the crew include televisions and sofas, as well as popular board games, including the traditional Royal Navy game Uckers.
• Each of the two aircraft elevators on HMS Queen Elizabeth can move two fighter jets from the hangar to the flight deck in 60 seconds.
• The warship has a range of 8,000 to 10,000 nautical miles and has two propellers – each weighing 33 tons and a combined power of 80 MW – enough to power 1,000 family cars or 50 high-speed trains.
