ROCKET MAN

FROM: Thunderball

In one of the most iconic Bond moments of the entire franchise, Sean Connery takes to the sky in a jet pack. The pack was actually a functioning Bell Rocket Belt that had been designed for the US army, but was rejected because of its short flying time of 21 to 22 seconds. Ever since, others have tried to come up with a more practical version. One of those is Gravity Industries, whose founder Richard Browning developed a jet suit reminiscent of the one used in the Bond film and, a few decades later, Marvel’s IronMan films. With more thruster jets, it’s able to stay airborne longer than Bond’s version – his Daedalus Flight Pack has a top speed of 136 kilometers per hour, can fly for about five minutes at up to 129kph and climb to 365 metres.
