Tony Stark would be proud

In documents that formed part of the patent claim, the company cited Marvel Studios’ Iron Man character and his use of a wearable flight system which utilises propulsion units worn on the hands.

The firm said it was already in “advanced discussions” with possible host cities, broadcasters and sponsors over launching its race series in the second half of 2019.
