Is Iron Man Technology Possible Today?

It is possible to create some models of suits. The first suit was worn by Tony Stark, the Iron Man Armor MKI, never used the repulsor. 

He designed it to use compressed air or hydrogen peroxide fuel to make jumps.

This is similar to what is used in modern jet packs.

Currently, some industries are designing jet suits that use compressed air to make jumps such as the ones made in Iron Man 1.

There are companies designing a suit that is powered by micro-jets. The suits manufactured by Gravity can jump as high as 12,000 feet and at a speed of 32 miles per hour. However, the simulator flights are done near the surface for safety reasons.

The military has also designed several “jump jets” that use a combination of hydrogen peroxide and catalysts.

These suits create a jet of steam that allows one to jump several meters above the ground. Others use nitrogen. However, neither of these are safe.

Could We Create A Power Supply Like Iron Man?

You can’t talk about a flight, without mentioning power.
So, in this case, what powers the Iron Man suit to make a vertical or horizontal thrust?

While the obvious answers are repulsion beams and rocket boots, these suggestions lead us to more questions.

The technology used to power the repulsion beams is beyond our current technology. How he defies the gravitational forces can only be through the use of a gravitation manipulation. We still don’t have a technology that can do that.
