WIND TUNNEL

REAL SKYDIVING GYM 

The WIND TUNNEL was born as an attraction inside a playground in Orlando, Florida (USA). The tourists, in raptures, were the first to fly inside this structure and it became one of the most popular attractions in the park. However, it wasn't long before they realized the potential of the wind tunnel as a training ground for skydivers . It was a very useful structure for refining flying techniques and training the body for launches and movement in the air. Thus, the wind tunnel changed radically, going from a simple attraction to a training tool.

To date, sports parachuting teams all train in wind tunnels: the gap with those who don't use them is abysmal and can decide the victory of a competition even before the jump. Even for beginners and for those approaching the world of skydiving, it is a highly effective preparatory tool, useful for understanding how to move and practice the various positions and figures, in an intuitive and fun way.

WIND TUNNEL? A NEW SPORT

It's not an attraction, but it's much more than just a gym. Wind tunneling is a sport recognized by the FAI and who knows whether it will also land in the Olympics in the near future. Indoor skydiving is increasingly used by professional skydivers and is a training that makes the difference, especially for the possibility of learning to fly with the body by building incredible figures.
