Final Frontier Design (FFD) is developing space suits. FFD starts updates for skydiving in April 2018. Our new generation skydiving suit has significant novelties in technology. Important advances of FFD suit over current suits are low weight, easy resizing system, easy donning/doffing, increased comfort and mobility, low operation cost, low manufacturing cost, mass use of 3D printing parts in suit.
Weight of DCC space suit is 36 lbs, FFD suit - 18 lbs. Alan Eustace suit - 250 lbs. Low weight garment save money for balloon, increases comfort, reduces fatigue and oxygen consumption.
Low-cost Advanced Space Suit for Skydiving and Space Jump
The Create the Future Design Contest was launched in 2002 by the publishers of NASA Tech Briefs magazine to help stimulate and reward engineering innovation. The annual event has attracted more than 8,000 product design ideas from engineers, entrepreneurs, and students worldwide.
