Indoor skydiving (first time) - City Skydive, Netherlands

City Skydive is the world's first indoor skydiving center with two flight chambers (wind tunnels). Under guidance of certified instructors, one can experience freefall. It's like jumping from out of a plane of 4,000 meters of altitude.

Each flight lasts 1 minute, which is equivalent to a tandem parachute jump from 4km (13,000ft). From this height the free fall time is 60 seconds. However most standard tandems in the Netherlands jump from 9,000ft and then your free fall time is about 30 seconds.

City Skydive has spent several years in developing and optimizing the windtunnels. Each tunnel has four powerful wind turbines with carbon flyer blades to reach windspeeds up to 300 km/h. To have an optimal and consistent airflow there has to be sufficient space between the turbines and the flying area, the only way to obtain this is by letting the air flow through the whole building and bending the air in the corners by turning vanes.
