Richard Browning is the founder of human propulsion technology start-up Gravity Industries Ltd, which he officially launched in March 2017 after inventing, building and patenting an ‘Iron Man-like’ flight system, the Daedalus flight suit.

A former Royal Marine reservist, Richard worked on a number of innovations and new technologies at BP before becoming involved in several start-ups, including a solar project in Kenya, lighting schools via reconditioning old car batteries.

His passion for flight and his vision for Gravity are inspired by his father, an aeronautical engineer and inventor.
