Going skydiving no longer means you have to leave the ground. When SkyVenture came to Reynolds Polymer Technology with their idea for a wind tunnel that lets people skydive in a shopping mall, we had just the solution: acrylic tubes to serve as the chambers. SkyVenture indoor skydiving facilities feature an R-Cast™ acrylic chamber that lets skydivers look out, and passers-by watch the divers in the wind tunnel.

Each chamber is approximately 30 feet tall (9.1m) and is designed in a bit of a unique way – the base of the chamber is conical, but it gradually transitions to a rectangle at the top of the chamber to diffuse the wind. Inside the chambers 800HP to 1200HP (780 metric HP to 1176HP) recirculating wind tunnels.
