Wind tunnel details SkyVenture Montréal is a privately owned, state-of-the-art and modern indoor skydiving facility which uses licensed technology developed by SkyVenture LLC, the leading manufacturer of 8

wind tunnels worldwide. SkyVenture Montréal’s wind tunnel has a height of 45 feet and a 14-foot diameter glass flight chamber with SkyVenture’s patented wall-to-wall airflow. The flight chamber is round and its glass part reaches 2.5 meters in height. Additionally, four 350-horsepower motors recirculate wind at speeds of up to 275 km/h (170 mph). Wind can therefore be adjusted to any requirements of each discipline. Our technology allows us to control the tunnel temperature regardless of external conditions. We guarantee that our tunnel is always comfortable to fly in. Our wind tunnel requires our ante-chamber door to be closed for flying and we must open / close them to let competitors in and out of the ante-chamber. 8

Pre event training Teams who arrive before the competition and would like to train at SkyVenture Montréal will be able to purchase 60-minute blocks of time at a rate of $825.60 CAD including taxes. The tunnel will be available for all competitors starting on October 9, 2017. The minimum time that can be bought is a 15-minute block.

This spirit of sport is characterized by such positive elements as: 17

Ethics, fair play and honesty Respect for rules and laws Respect for self and other participants Teamwork Dedication and commitment Courage Community and solidarity Health Excellence in performance Character and education Excitement and pleasure Doping is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport.
