iFLY Downunder Indoor Skydiving

Excursion / Last updated 5 years, 4 months ago

When the experiment is you, maths and science suddenly get a lot more interesting! Indoor Skydiving is safe and fun for everyone from 3-103 years old and an iFLY wind tunnel is a marvel of maths, science and engineering that connects what students learn in school to what can be achieved in real life. Spark your students’ interest in gravity, mass, drag and terminal velocity as they experience indoor skydiving and the thrill of flying “weightlessly” in an 1800 horsepower vertical wind tunnel!

We understand that even though fun is important when you visit iFLY, learning is vital too. Using our state-of-the-art wind tunnel technology, students will conduct captivating experiments, use aircraft instruments to measure everyday objects flying in the tunnel and participate in a powerful science lecture about the maths and science behind it all.

 Our unique excursions are curriculum linked and designed to suit each education level from primary through to tertiary.

What is a vertical wind tunnel?
Pretty simple really. It’s a large glass chamber that extends skywards with powerful electric fans at the top. When these operate, air is drawn up through the tube, creating a cushion of air that you can fly on. The amount of airflow is precisely controlled to ensure that it matches the experience level of those in the tunnel. Visit our website www.iflydownunder.com.au for more details on the technology behind vertical wind tunnels.

Is it safe?
Yes. Every aspect of the wind tunnel design has been carefully considered to create a fully controlled environment that provides total safety. Our certified and highly-trained instructors are with you at
all times during your flight to give guidance and reassurance.

Is it hard to breathe?
Not at all. It’s a similar sensation to sticking your head out of a car window when it’s moving. You’ll feel the wind rush over your whole body as it lifts you effortlessly upwards. Just breathe normally and
enjoy the ride.

iFLY has Public Liability Insurance.
