The wind tunnel generates air speeds capable of supporting a human body in a stable prone position, effectively cancelling the force of gravity.
Indoor skydiving tunnels of this type are utilized by professional skydivers for training stability and aerial maneuvers in a controlled environment.
The experience simulates the terminal velocity conditions found during the freefall portion of an outdoor skydive.
The facility in Budapest is one of the few permanent indoor skydiving installations in Hungary.
Skyward INDOOR skydiving BUDAPEST operates a vertical wind tunnel designed to simulate the sensation of freefall. The facility utilizes a high-speed airflow system to generate enough lift for human flight within a cylindrical flight chamber. Participants receive specialized equipment including flight suits, helmets, and goggles before entering the tunnel. A certified instructor remains inside the chamber during all flights to provide physical guidance and stability. The experience is designed to accommodate both complete beginners and experienced flyers. The flight area is enclosed in glass, allowing observers to watch participants from the surrounding deck. Pre-flight training covers essential body position, hand signals, and safety protocols.
Outside the glass walls of the flight chamber, where spectators can capture unobstructed photos of flyers in mid-air.
Wear comfortable, thin clothing and secure, lace-up athletic shoes, as loose items like jewelry or scarves are prohibited in the flight chamber.
Pay close attention during the mandatory briefing, as hand signals are the only way to communicate with your instructor once the turbines are running.
Empty your pockets completely of all loose items, including coins, phones, and keys, before entering the briefing area.
Attempting to perform unguided maneuvers or flips without explicit instructor permission.
Closed on Mondays.
Strict adherence to instructor hand signals is mandatory; no loose jewelry or accessories permitted in the flight area.
