Why Choose SkyVenture
•
SkyVenture is Proven - SkyVenture is the Worlds largest and most advanced
manufacturer of vertical wind tunnels - the only company that has built multiple openflow and recirculating vertical wind tunnels. These are not R & D projects; our designs
are built, proven and making money all over the World. If you want to know how much
power one of our models will use, or how much sound it will create, you do not need to
take our word for it; you can simply visit one of our facilities and measure for yourself.
•
SkyVenture is Safe – the patented wall-to-wall airflow makes it impossible to fall of the
air column or get tangled in the net. We have no need to harness new students, our
tunnel is even safe for children. The entire flight chamber can be padded at the buyer’s
request.
•
SkyVenture is Reliable – day after day, month after month, year after year,
SkyVenture wind tunnels run in demanding environments all over the world.
Operational readiness is over 98%. This is an actual figure not a projection.
•
SkyVenture is Hyper-Efficient – wall-to-wall airflow and multiple overhead fans make
this design 56% more efficient than its competitors. Again, this is not based on theory
but on years of successful operation
•
SkyVenture is Realistic – military trainees and professional skydiving teams in the
world train at SkyVenture for one simple reason, it feels like freefall. Trainees are not
flying over the hubs, blades and stators of the fans.
•

on research and development. It holds more than a dozen US and European Patents
and has four more currently pending.
