Windtunnel

SkyVenture Arizona is a state-of-the-art skydiving wind tunnel located directly on the Skydive Arizona™ Drop Zone and just a short 5-minute-walk away from our office. This skydiving simulator is a 2nd generation SkyVenture, built by Skyventure LLC. This is a large structure with four 400hp top mounted fans with a lexan and steel enclosed flight area. The flight chamber is 14 feet in diameter and approximately 20 feet tall. It has wall to wall air and can produce wind speeds powerful enough for all forms of body-flight.
