Sam Rogers, <\/strong>Additive Design Lead and a Jet Suit pilot at Gravity Industries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sam focuses on the design optimization of the Gravity Jet Suit, a five-turbojet-engine race suit that is 3D-printed entirely from metal and polymer. Sam\u2019s passion and expertise stem from growing up making pyrotechnics, building solid-fueled rocket motors, high-powered model rockets, and radio-controlled aircraft. This led him to work on 3D-printed rocket engines before joining Gravity. He has a degree in Product Design and Technology (BSc) from Loughborough University. Sam has flown his design more than 50 MPH and has demonstrated the suit at more than 81 events, in 26 countries, since its launch, including four of the very popular TED talks.<\/p>\n
