The successful test comes after a year of talks between GNAAS and Gravity Industries.

Andy Mawson, GNAAS director of operations, said users do not need to be travelling that fast to cover large areas of terrain, compared with someone on foot.

'It's been a fantastic couple of days in the Lake District testing out how extreme Jet Suit mobility can support emergency paramedic response in the mountains'.

'The Great North Air Ambulance reached out and constructed a typical rescue scenario'.

'Calling in helicopter support for each and every case isn't possible or practical which leaves vehicle & foot approach'.

'What if the Critical Care first responder could locate and stabilise the casualty within minutes of vehicle arrival'.

'Well in this exercise we did it in 90 seconds vs the 25 minutes of arduous climb!'

Who knows what the future holds but this is a start we are very proud of.
