If you're new to extreme sports, there’s a thrilling alternative that simulates skydiving in a fun and far more controlled way. How? By flying in a wind tunnel.
Originally an engineering tool, wind tunnels were designed to study aerodynamics—how solid objects move through air, aircraft performance, or even dive manoeuvres. But as often happens, what began as science... became the ultimate adrenaline rush!
You might not have heard much about this type of flight, but trust us: flying solo in a wind tunnel is absolutely brilliant—no instructor strapped to your back required.
Wind tunnels offer heaps of advantages, many comparable to skydiving, while being perfect for a first taste of freefall. In fact, many professional skydivers train in these giant air tubes to hone their skills—military "air soldiers" included.
Powered by four high-speed turbines at the base, the tunnel generates a vertical airflow. Just step inside, lie flat, and let the current lift you up to a max height of 15 metres (though your skill level determines how high you go).
Before your flight, experts will brief you on safety protocols, body positioning, and how to navigate the tunnel—everything you need for an unforgettable experience.
A wind tunnel flight is epic, unforgettable, and packed with perks:
- Master freefall stability control.
- Practice skydiving freestyle moves.
- Cheaper than jumping from a plane.
- Rapid skill-building with instructor guidance.
