Seattle Indoor Skydiving

Seattle Indoor Skydiving will be the largest vertical wind tunnel facility on the West Coast of the USA and the first one in the Pacific Northwest. We are scheduled to break ground in 2010.

“Behind the Scenes” (or under them) at iFly San Francisco Bay

The following video shows what’s underneath the flight chamber of a Skyventure wind tunnel. The plenum chamber is the “constriction point” where the winds increase in speed to create the lift for those flying in the tunnel.

Thanks to iFly SF Bay for allowing me to join the science class that was taking a tour to learn about the physics of wind tunnels!
