THIS is the incredible moment Royal Navy's very own 'Iron Man' troops used jet packs to fly over the HMS Queen Elizabeth.
Amazing footage shows the servicemen hovering over the New York Harbour before landing on the Navy’s flagship aircraft carrier.
The military men can be seen flying over the Atlantic waving the Union Jack flag in front of stunned onlookers.
The flights were part of the Atlantic Future Forum (AFF) an Anglo-American military conference about military, political and strategic relations.
The flights are made possible thanks to the innovative super-fast gravity-defying jet suits by Gravity Industries.
The suits which use more horsepower than a Formula One racing car, allows people to become a "real life IronMan."
