Leaving on a combination? Selfridges offers the chance to hover like 'Iron Man'.

Have you ever dreamed of being "Iron Man"? Now you can.

A jet suit created by a former British merchant was put on sale in a London department store with a price of £ 340,000 ($ 443,428).

Since it's been revealed months earlier, inventor Richard Browning has attracted investment from Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, but now he's giving the public the chance to get their hands on one.

Browning took demonstrations around the world and took off on Wednesday over a small, gated street outside the selfridges luxury department store.

The London-based store is now selling custom versions of the costume.

For an enticing price, nine consumers can order a customized version of the "Iron Man" costume, as well as a crash course on how to steal it.

"The Jet Suit is the equivalent of launching the very first plane," said Bosse Myhr, director of men's fashion and technology at Selfridges, at the Evening Standard.

"We are at the dawn of an era when aerospace technology can finally be in the hands of the consumer and we are proud to be the first to offer this technology.

Composed of five miniature jet engines mounted on the driver's arms and back, the Gravity Industries suit recalls the one worn by Robert Downey Jr as Marvel's superhero "Iron Man".

The suit, which weighs about 59lbs, is also integrated with electronics and 3D printed parts.

Operating on jet fuel or diesel, it has a speed record of 51 km / h altitude limit of 12,000 feet (3,658 meters).

However, Browning is only a few meters above the ground for security reasons.

"It consumes about four liters per minute hovering, which makes it quite easy to fly for three or four minutes. and we have another version – certainly on a cold day when you get more thrust, it'll fly for about nine minutes, "Browning said.

& # 39; It's something we're looking to improve but it's the inevitable consequence of wingless flight.
