Two For One Body Flying Experience

FLYAB
1 hr
£49
  • Take a friend along for free!
  • Step into a 120mph wind tunnel for an incredible flight
  • Totally safe - includes safety briefing, flight suits and instructor
  • Much more free flight time than skydiving - and no need to jump out of a plane
  • Receive debrief each and a DVD of both of you flying

Wind tunnels have been used for years to test the aerodynamics of cars. Then some bright spark came up with the idea of flipping one upright and jumping into the airflow - and body flying was born. The wind tunnel is a 120mph wall of air, easily strong enough to support your weight, so that you can experience freefall without the need to jump out of a plane. You'll both start off with a safety briefing from your instructor before being kitted out with your specialist flight suit. Then step into the wind tunnel with your instructor, where you'll be lifted into the air for two incredible 60 second sessions of body flying. As a comparison, during a skydive from 10,000 feet, you would experience around 30 seconds of freefall. If you're lucky, your instructor will jump on the flow and show you some astonishing freefall acrobatics. Your flying sessions will end with a debrief, and you'll also get a DVD of your flights to take home.
