Can We Make an Iron Man Suit in Real Life?

Well, if we are talking of the armoured suit that protects and improves the strength of a person, then the current technology is capable of accomplishing that.
But, if you are considering Iron Man’s abilities such as the repulsor beam and infinite power, then we may never see some of these technologies materialize.
Some abilities such as flight and use of the nanotechnology are debatable.

In order to understand if we can truly design the Iron Man suit with its special components, we need to break it down and examine each item in depth.

Iron Man Technology

Let’s start with the awesome stuff and figure out the things we can create.

Is Iron Man Flight Possible?

There is a lot of physics that Tony Stark defies during his flights.
That means to make a flight similar to the one made by Tony Stark in the movie, would require some serious high-level technology inbuilt in a suit.
For example for the horizontal flight, he uses direct chemical thrust assisted by the repulsor beam.
During the flight, the gyro-stabilized repulsion allows him to stay up while the boots make the forward thrust. Such technology is currently not available.
