Richard Browning

Founder of Gravity Industries, Inventor & Specialist in Aeronautical Innovation

Richard Browning is a definitive authority on aeronautical innovation and the mechanics of rapid iteration. As the founder of Gravity Industries and inventor of the world’s first patented Jet Suit, his legacy is defined by redefining human flight through radical engineering.

When delivering keynotes on the mindset of disruptive technology or sharing insights into jet-powered mobility from the frontlines of Search and Rescue development, Richard explores the technological frameworks required to lead through uncertainty. He addresses organisational transformation, demonstrating how relentless risk-taking acts as a catalyst for performance-led leadership. His perspective provides a blueprint for strategic engineering, showing how organisations can synchronise experimental courage with the sophisticated discipline required to turn the impossible into a measurable starting point for high-growth global ventures.

By anchoring human flight in operational precision, he enables senior boards to transform extreme pressure into a measurable driver of organisational resilience.

Signature Keynotes

  • How to prototype bold ideas fast, test them publicly and accelerate progress in a high-stakes world.

  • Why the limits you see are self-imposed and how to design a culture that never blinks at the impossible.

  • In high-risk domains you either adapt or fall. Richard shares how marginal gains, calculated risk-taking and team agility drive lasting success.

  • A high-octane exploration of how Gravity Industries was built from the ground up, complete with live flight suit demonstrations that bring innovation to life.
