The 'Hypervelocity Armor' possesses enhanced repulsors, housed not in gloves but in high-strength manipulator waldoes [giving the armor somewhat longer arms than usual]; multiple-mode boot jets that can operate both with and without oxygen intake; improved structural integrity for the armor; an improved 'chameleon mode'; and a 'supercavitation spike' projecting upward from the back, which apparently creates a sort of bubble that allows the armor to travel underwater at near-supersonic speeds.
The most amazing feature of this armor is it's vastly increased computing power. This increase allows it to make a 'back-up' of Tony's own mind/consciousness, so that in the event of critical injury of the wearer, the armor can act as him, with all his knowledge, insight, and experience:
After several hours of existence, this armor was able to develop a program [Accelerationware], which enabled it to function at 'hypervelocity' - allowing it to move in a different timeframe than everyone else, (this is amazing):
Generally speaking, there's never really a specific timeframe I've seen, correlating to how long it takes Tony to build some of his various armors. Said armors' seem to either a.) always be there when he needs them - or b.) he builds them as a spur of the moment thing.
And of course we know that even if we never really see a certain armor again, it hasn't necessarily been 'trashed', but rather placed in Tony's armory, ready to use at any given time.

The Stealth armor was created to be 'invisible' to both radar, and the naked eye. It was also specifically designed to combat the Black Panther's anti-metal vibranium claws.
The armor accomplishes this by releasing a very potent plasma discharge, ("powerful enough to bring Thor to his knees.") - any time vibranium makes contact with it:
-"Space Ghost"; space-flight capable, nearly impossible to detect espionage model; possibly intended as a satellite-killer.
-"Submariner"; streamlined for great speed underwater; capable of using the ocean itself as a weapon, it apparently unleashed several tsunamis, and was able to overpower Namor, the Submariner, under water - an incredible feat.
-"Adamantium Man"; equipped with practically indestructible "Stark-Chobham" armor, an experimental composite of carbon nanotube-reinforced ceramics, laced with adamantium.
-"Digger"; enormous drone, equipped with (shielded) Antarctic Vibranium (which dissolves any metal) helmet dome and a specialized repulsor/unibeam system which allowed it to tunnel at incredible speed.
-"Hulkbuster II"; also a massive drone, ostensibly designed mainly for raw power and toughness, to take on the Hulk. It proved entirely capable of taking on the Avengers.
As the name suggests, this armor is 'invisible' to almost any form of radar detection. The biggest disadvantage with the Stealth armor (Mk I) is it has no weaponry to speak of. It was made solely for 'spy' missions, to which physical combat was not expected:
This version of Stealth armor was nearly identical to the original, with a few alterations.
1.) It was equipped with low grade palm-mounted repulsors.
2.) The armor was built to alter the way it's surface reflects light - this aides in camouflaging the wearer:
This prototype suit utilizes armor made out of three-inch tiles, piled several layers thick. Each tile is made of high-impact polymer. If one of the tiles is damaged, it pops off and the next one below it is snapped into place.
Furthermore, the suit uses repulsor-tech force fields to both position new tiles, and to act as a first line of defense. The tiles are continuously produced in a "polymer kiln" on the suit's back. The Ablative armor can also create a "storm cloud" of thousands of orbiting tiles around itself acting as a "chaff" to knock out incoming projectiles:
Ultimately, the Ablative Armor was used to defend against a parasitical alien life form which infected organisms and altered them to suit its needs. For optimal efficiency, the tiles were "loaded" with specialized nanobots which would turn the alien's biology against itself:
