Indoor skydiving in El Paso, Texas

Indoor skydiving simulator at iFLY El Paso

The iFLY El Paso experience allows you to discover freefall without an airplane thanks to a supervised flight in a vertical wind tunnel. This simulator uses a powerful airflow to reproduce the sensations of a skydive while remaining on the ground. Upon arrival, the team presents how the facility works and explains how the airflow keeps the body suspended. This activity offers an accessible introduction to indoor flight for anyone who wants to test freefall in a controlled environment.

Introductory tunnel flight with an instructor

Before entering the tunnel, an instructor shows you the positions to adopt to stabilize the flight and control height. These demonstrations allow you to understand the basics: torso orientation, arm placement, and balance control. Once equipped with the flight suit, helmet, and protective gear provided, you access the flight area where the airflow can reach 185 mph (300 km/h). The flight lasts about 2 minutes, a longer time than most freefalls performed outdoors. The instructor remains in the tunnel to guide you and adjust your position.

An activity accessible to everyone at iFLY El Paso

The facility can host several participants thanks to its pressurized area designed for up to 12 people. The activity is suited for children, teenagers, and adults who want to discover freefall in a stable setting. iFLY El Paso offers a format of about 1 hour and 30 minutes, including check-in, instructions, equipment, the tunnel flight, and the end of the session. This option allows you to experience skydiving sensations without using an airplane and at a lower cost than tandem flights.
