Summary
For fans of Adrian Newey, Guy Martin and Chris Hadfield, in Taking on Gravity, inventor Richard Browning tells the inspiring story behind his iconic jet suit and shares his creative principles for generating true innovation.
From Icarus to Iron Man, the dream of human flight has always inspired and challenged us. Now, with his pioneering jet suit, Richard Browning has redefined what is possible.
Richard Browning’s story is one of groundbreaking innovation. Building an aviation business from his garage, he has invented a whole new form of personal flight - a fantasy previously reserved for the pages of science fiction. His iconic jet suit has captured the imaginations of millions around the world, triggered ongoing developments in technology and engineering, and inspired a new generation of creative minds to pursue their dreams.
In Taking on Gravity, Browning reveals the creative principles of his multimillion-pound company, Gravity Industries, and shows us how grass-roots innovation can disrupt established industries in exciting and unexpected ways. On this journey into the sky we’ll experience what it’s like to take flight, to test the limits of the human body, and to convert moonshot ideas into tangible results.
The Taking on Gravity story is an inspiring example of human creativity and our ceaseless desire to push the boundaries of what is possible. Where we go next is up to you.

Underwhelming
it started pretty interesting, but there was a lot of self ingratiating waffle in places. irrelevant name drops of famous people didn't help, plus the odd factual error. overall a bit disappointing, especially the conclusion that it's really just a fancy expensive toy
