Embodiment Construction

[0067] figure 1 and Figure 1A A recirculation vertical wind tunnel 100 according to prior art is shown. Moving along the airflow direction, the wind tunnel 100 includes a flight cabin 101, a diffuser 102 above the flight cabin 101, a first corner 103, an upper horizontal air chamber 104, a second corner 105, a vertical return air chamber 106, a third Corner 107 , lower horizontal air chamber 108 , fourth corner 109 and inlet constriction 110 below flight chamber 101 . The lower horizontal plenum 108 has a first section 111 and a second section 112, the second section 112 having a constricted cross-section. One or more fans (not shown) are disposed in the flow path plenum to generate airflow through the flow path plenum. exist figure 1 The direction of airflow is indicated by dashed arrows. Guide vanes 113 are arranged in the corners 103, 105, 107, 109 to redirect the airflow between the diffuser 102 and the upper horizontal plenum 104, the airflow between the upper horiz...

Abstract

A vertical wind tunnel for indoor skydiving has at least one recirculating airflow plenum. The airflow plenum includes a first vertical member housing a flight chamber, a top horizontal member, a second vertical member, and a bottom horizontal member. The bottom horizontal member has a first section and a second section. A corner section connects the second section of the bottom horizontal memberwith the first vertical member. The second section of the bottom horizontal member contracts the airflow travelling through the bottom horizontal member between the first section and its exit to the corner section. The corner section further contracts the airflow exiting the second section of the bottom horizontal member towards the first vertical member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to recirculating vertical wind tunnels, and more particularly to wind tunnels for indoor skydiving. Background technique [0002] These wind tunnels recreate the experience of skydiving outside in a safe and controlled indoor environment. However, recirculation vertical wind tunnels are generally expensive to construct and operate, and require a large amount of space to generate an airflow strong enough to levitate one or more persons within acceptable noise and energy consumption levels, while A constant airflow quality is also maintained. It is generally desired that the airflow through the flight compartment be substantially uniform and low in turbulence. Moving in the direction of the airflow, a recirculating vertical wind tunnel typically includes a flight chamber, a diffuser above the flight chamber, a first corner or turn, an upper horizontal plenum, a second corner or turn, a vertical return plenum, The third c...
