About this listen
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.

Grounded, with his feet off the ground.
Richard Browning understands his mind and is well aware of how his personality enjoys the outskirts of social comforts. It allows him to observe the opportunities camouflaged in conversation. If there is a book to pick up for an up and coming entrepreneur, this is the one. Not only did he birth the idea of the Jet Suit and Gravity, he stared down his fears to realize his potential. Becoming an entrepreneur is an extremely personal journey through the roller coaster of emotions, processes and impacts from a professional and intimate perspective. This book honours the respect, loyalty and dedication one needs to embark on it.
