We make the most innovative indoor/outdoor skydiving vertical wind tunnels in the world
Recently indoor skydiving practices reached high popularity around the world. Men and women of all ages express their sympathy for this leisure sport due to the right proportion between some adrenaline rush and exciting feelings at the same time. Opposite to free-flight skydiving where practice could not be performed by a large number of people, not only because the high prices that involve a free-fall session but also due to people not feeling completely safe jumping from an aircraft
Vertical wind tunnels are created different, they come in different shapes and sizes; nevertheless, the most common types are the blowers or air pusher and sucker or vacuum.
The first kind of tunnels is independent of any type of external structure.
Other types of wind tunnels are completely dependent on the external structures which hold the fans. The fans are able to be placed either on top or at the bottom of the flying chamber.
Free-fall time depends on the altitude reached by aircraft. This is one of the most important limitations. Free-fall jump altitudes oscillate anywhere between 3,000 to 13,000 feet with periods of time of 40 to 60 seconds. However, at higher altitudes, the skydivers may free-fall for a period of time over a minute, with oxygen equipment help before activating a parachute to slow the landing down to a safe speed.
Skydiving prices vary from facility to facility. Single jumps usually start from $190 and could go up to $300,
Vertical Wind tunnels for Indoor and Outdoor Skydiving are developed for the general public as entertainment, and for professional skydiving for educational, training, and simulation purposes. In a vertical wind tunnel, air flow is generated and directed so as to going through the chamber vertically and upwards, so that any object in the camera compensate gravity with the upward velocity of air flow, remaining static in it.
Safety is a big concern in a vertical wind tunnel design.
Skydiver safety involves features that have to be followed by the skydiver and addressed by the instructor to avoid accidents. Skydivers do not have to be worried about falling, jumping or having a fear of heights because they start to flight only one foot above the ground. Their first flight also includes a highly trained instructor holding the skydiver’s arm. Depending on the skydiver comfort, airflow level may increase; it means the skydiver would be able to go higher inside the test chamber and challenge himself with different movements keeping a high level of safety.
