Indoor skydiving

"*** Indoor skydiving is the simulation of true freefall conditions in a vertical wind tunnel. It’s where the dream of flight becomes a reality.***

The invention of modern wind tunnels has given skydivers a consistent and practical way to develop and hone skills that usually require jumping from a plane. Additionally, the increase in availability of wind tunnels has created a whole new genre of sport – bodyflight. It is one of the most exciting and fastest growing sports in the world.

A vertical wind tunnel (VWT) is a wind tunnel which moves air up in a vertical column skydiving simulator. Unlike standard wind tunnels which have test sections that are oriented horizontally, as experienced in level flight skydiving experience, a vertical orientation enables gravity to be countered by drag instead of lift, as experienced in an aircraft spin or by a skydiver at terminal velocity.

Although vertical wind tunnels have been built for aerodynamic research, the most high-profile are those used as recreational wind tunnels, frequently advertised as indoor skydiving or body flight, which have also become a popular training tool for skydivers.
