Skeletal and muscular

The effective use of the Gravity Jet Suit requires a high level of control, for the pilot, over their core, leg and arm muscles.  This resource explains that biomechanics is the synergy between muscles and bones and shows some of the joints used in flying in the suit.

Human balance

A high degree of balance is required to successfully fly the Gravity Jet Suit.  This resource explains how our balance is controlled in our inner ear and vestibular system.

Scientific method

This resource gives an overview of the scientific method, and includes information of biases.
