Flight chamber

A Flight Chamber serves as a bridge between the world of aviation research and adrenaline-packed recreation. Historically rooted in aerodynamic testing, wind tunnels were conceived to study the complex interactions between airflow and objects. However, as technology advanced and human curiosity grew bolder, the concept of utilizing these tunnels for human interaction was realized, leading to the creation of the flight chamber. This specialized segment of a wind tunnel is meticulously designed to simulate the exhilarating conditions of freefall.

Turning vanes

In the heart of aerodynamic testing lies the challenge of managing airflow. Turning vanes in wind tunnels are our solution, often referred to as "corner vanes." Their primary function is to direct the airflow seamlessly, especially around potential disruption zones, like corners. Wind tunnels play a pivotal role in industries such as aerospace and automotive design, acting as bridges between concept and real-world functionality. Testing in this environment ensures that designs, like those of prototype aircraft or automobiles, interact optimally with flowing air.
