Indoor skydiving at iFLY Loudoun – Wind tunnel experience in Ashburn, Virginia

This indoor skydiving experience at iFLY Loudoun – Ashburn, Virginia, allows you to discover the sensations of skydiving without boarding an airplane. The activity takes place in a vertical wind tunnel designed to reproduce the lift and speed of real freefall in a fully secure environment. Upon arrival at the iFLY Ashburn center, the team organizes check-in and preparation before entering the flight area.

Before flying, a professional instructor provides individual training to explain body positions, required movements, and how the tunnel operates, with the goal of allowing each participant to control stability and movement within the airflow. Once equipped with a flight suit, helmet, and goggles, you access the pressurized tunnel area, which can accommodate multiple participants at the same time.

Experiencing the sensations of a real skydive

The flight takes place in two sessions, for a total of 2 minutes of actual flight time, which corresponds to more than two real skydives from an airplane thanks to air being propelled at high speed, up to 185 mph, by multiple synchronized turbines. The instructor remains by your side inside the tunnel to adjust your position and ensure safety. This flight duration allows you to experience sensations similar to, or even stronger than, those of a traditional skydive, but without altitude or weather constraints.

The full experience lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes, including welcome, briefing, equipment, flight time, and recovery after the session. The center also provides locker rooms and lockers for personal belongings. Indoor skydiving in Virginia is ideal for those who want to experience freefall sensations without jumping from an airplane, or before doing a tandem skydive.
