  1. Goairborne.com/mo/ How does Indoor Air Skydiving Operate? Outdoor skydiving is easy: jump out of an aeroplane, let gravity to do the work, then draw the parachute. But how does air skydiving indoors work? How can they make you float in this tube? Let's speak about how indoor skydiving works. The background of the Wind Tunnel Have you ever witnessed fast-moving air rushing past an item in a tunnel? Typically, it contains a model of an aeroplane or automobile. That is indeed a wind tunnel. All facilities for air skydiving indoors are wind tunnels (unless someone developed anti-gravity and forgot to tell the rest of us). Wind tunnels were developed to examine how air flows around an item. Counted in hundreds of horse power, enormous fans blow air past an item. Thus, they can determine how effectively the aircraft will fly. Now, they even do this with automobiles. This is done with automobiles to explore ways to reduce the amount of power required for automobiles to obtain speed while driving. Transversal Wind Tunnel Imagine the wind tunnel ascending and descending. This is the fundamental concept behind the vertical wind tunnel. The most of the time, it's utilised for fun, but occasionally it's also used to research VSTOL and helicopter flight. Non-recirculating and recirculating vertical wind tunnels exist. Non-recirculating wind tunnels draw air from the exterior through the tunnel's bottom and push it upwards. At the top of a recirculating tunnel are installed enormous fans. They draw air through the flight chamber before forcing it down the sidewall. The sidewall is in close proximity to the flight tube. The compressed air is then propelled back up the air tunnel. It forms a massive square. These are the sorts of wind tunnels utilised by establishments such as iFly. In this manner, the force of the air holds you above and provides the sensation of flight. The velocity of the air is sufficient to oppose gravity. End-Speed How quick must the air be to lift you? Terminal velocity is needed. Terminal velocity is an object's greatest fall speed. 120 mph winds blow upward. This is humans' final airspeed. Floating is counteracting gravity with equal or greater power (Newton's Third Law). More push gives you flying. You thought all that physics nonsense was useless? Wind-resistant Wind Resistance is crucial for many sports. Why do bikers ride so awkwardly? Wind tunnel testing confirmed it. That's the best cycling position. Air flows around the helmet to reduce drag. Wind tunnel humans act similarly. If you float with your belly towards the ground and arms outstretched, you'll float. If you point down, even in a wind tunnel, you'll strike the earth. Controller

  2. Goairborne.com/mo/ Every air skydiving indoors facility has a controller. Once you enter the room, they don't merely hit a button and leave. The indoor skydiving facility's controller maintains a steady flow and looks for anything that might disrupt the flyer's experience.
