as you can kind of sense
כמו שכבר בטח ניחשתם
1970s office-leaving present.
בשנות ה-70 לעזיבת המשרד
that inspired people for years,
שעורר השראה מזה שנים
to share with you now.
לשתף איתכם.
of the human mind and body,
היא שגוף ונפש האדם,
for the last few days here,
that wonderful machine
המכונה המדהימה הזו
in that kind of real way,
back in London, Denton,
of that kind of stuff than me.
בסוג זה של עבודה
proved really quite impressive,
הרשימה אותנו מאד
is, right in the background,
ממש שם ברקע,
of trying to ignore us for a while --
בלנסות ולהתעלם מאיתנו --
less happy is the grass,
הפחות מצחיק, זה הדשא
and somewhat fail.
to go from there:
שהייתה לנו הגיונית:
watching these back.
אוהב להסתכל על זה שוב.
and spread the load a bit.
ניסינו לפזר את העומס מעט.
about trying things --
ניסויים --
by failing at them most of the time.
ניסוי וטעייה
five engines here --
יש לנו חמישה מנועים --
one was in maintenance,
We learned not to do that again.
לא לנסות את זה שוב
some really quite convincing progress,
believe that maybe --
and two on each arm,
ושניים על כל יד,
I'm about to show you now,
reasonably coherent flight.
this endeavor went from:
המאמץ עבר מ:
this is going to work,"
the best way to learn.
הדרך הטובה ביותר ללמוד
really refining the layout of all of this.
that's stability and control --
refining the technology,
on the back for the electronics
עבור כל האלקטרוניקה
the balance and control.
for the next short piece
את הרעש
הופך לבלתי נסבל
noise is a bit annoying.
is really quite nice,
כבר די טובים.
validates that starting hypothesis,
השערת הבסיס ממנה התחלנו,
if properly augmented in that way,
עם השדרוג הנכון,
I'm moving my arms at that stage.
בשלב זה
of where I want to get to,
to go down to Walmart
לסופר המקומי
in any of this stuff for a while,
עם המערכת הזו בזמן הקרוב.
some awesome technology
מייצרים טכנולוגיה מדהימה
this look like child's play.
this unusual experience of flight
and displays we're doing.
שכבר עשינו.
for pilots two and three,
אבל פשוט אומר את זה,
but let's just stick it out there,
rise up above a beach,
ולנסוק מעט גבוה יותר,
of it, rise up a bit higher,
אנחנו עובדים על לגרום לזה לקרות
we're working on to make this achievable.
עם הגלגלים פתוחים,
a Hercules with the ramp down.
אתה מתחיל לצבור מהירות
you start picking up speed
זאת תהיה טעות --
that would be a mistake --
way off at the moment.
אנחנו עדיין רחוקים מהרגע הזה.
a big step back from this,
זהו לא רק רגע מכונן
personal journey for me.
his own life when I was 15,
of unfulfilled ambition.
שאפתנות לא מנוצלת
if it was possible,
לו רק זה היה אפשרי,
of the things we've done here,
I'm probably more nervous
כנראה שאני יותר לחוץ
to get done today.
we don't get a clean start.
while I'm actually flying around.
and fall on my rear, as I said.
כמו אידיוט כשאנחת על הישבן.

Why you should listen
Richard Browning is an ultra-marathon runner, an ex-Royal Marine reservist, former City commodity trader and a pioneering inventor. He's the founder of Gravity, launched in March 2017 with a dream to reimagine an entirely new form of human flight, leaning on an elegant collaboration of mind and body augmented by leading-edge technology.
Gravity has to date been experienced by over a billion people globally with video views alone running at more than 60m within seven days of launch. Browning's vision is to build Gravity into a world-class aeronautical engineering business, challenge perceived boundaries in human aviation, and inspire a generation to dare ask ‘what if…’
