Imagine a
wind tunnel that could be used for testing the aerodynamics
of an F1 racing car, turn it upright, step into the airflow
and you are skydiving. It's a proven concept operating in
several countries to the benefit of the skydiving community
and anyone else who wishes to taste the thrill of freefall
in a completely safe environment.
The idea
of flying indoors where we bring the airflow to you was
first tried by the American Military in 1964. In 1982 A
couple of vertical wind tunnels opened in Tennessee and Las
Vegas and the first SkyVenture tunnel opened in Orlando,
Florida in 1998. It has been operating there ever since with
fantastic success and reliability. Airkix is the seventh
tunnel to be manufactured by SkyVenture and the first in
Europe.
