Ever wanted to go skydiving but didn't like the idea of jumping out of a plane. Indoor skydiving may be the answer. No parachute required; Airkix presents the ultimate freefall experience. Visitors can go indoor skydiving and feel the exhilaration of unlimited freefall without even boarding a plane or leaving the building.
The Indoor Skydiving Experience
Indoor Skydiving involves being in a vertical windtunnel, and floating on a powerful updraft of air. The walls of the indoor skydiving chamber are transparent, so that guests can watch you while you have a most uplifting experience!
Airkix Indoor Skydiving
The Airkix wind tunnel is at the Xscape Leisure and Entertainment Centre in Milton Keynes. Set to become one of the most invigorating leisure pursuits, the vertical wind tunnel enables people of all ages to feel the adrenalin of freefall in a controlled, safe environment. In the purpose built tunnel you’ll be able to perform a series of freefall manoeuvres in an airstream of up to 150mph.
The Tunnel
The impressive structure has been designed and built specifically for indoor skydiving and bodyflying. The tunnel employs state of the art technology which accurately controls the environment inside the tunnel. The four high performance 250HP fans generate controlled airflow and a windspeed of up to 150mph, replicating the conditions that skydivers thrive on. The indoor flight chamber has a diameter of 12 feet and is 35 feet high providing enough room for up to four experienced people to fly together.

Not just for adrenalin junkies, the major appeal of Airkix is that anyone can have a go. From first time thrill seekers to more experienced skydivers wanting to perfect their technique or those wanting to try something different, the Airkix wind tunnel is for everyone. In fact children from the age of 5 enjoy and excel in the wind tunnel.
The advantage of the wind tunnel is that it combines the heart pumping elements of an extreme sport but in a controlled and safe environment. Unlike other extreme sports Airkix doesn’t require any previous experience or sporting ability and people can be flying within minutes of arriving.
All flyers visiting Airkix receive induction training in a pre-flight room from highly qualified instructors. Flyers are taken on a step by step programme, explaining how the wind tunnel works and how to get the most out of their flight. All flyers are provided with the latest equipment including flying suits, goggles and helmets.
To prove to friends that you have actually flown, the Airkix tunnel has cameras enabling DVD recordings and pictures to be taken while in-flight.

The Expertise
The finest instructors in the country make up the ‘Aircrew’. Prior to coaching in the tunnel, all instructors receive rigorous training lasting four weeks and are qualified by experts at the International Bodyflight Association in USA. The training is carried out at SkyVenture, the manufacturers of the Airkix facility and operators of SkyVenture in Orlando, Florida. The Aircrew maximise the enjoyment of flights, give flyers confidence and help them to develop new skills whilst in the flight chamber.
Prices
The Airkix experience starts at just £34.99 for the Kix-start package (off-peak) which lasts an hour and includes two flights. (The equivalent of three skydives all at once!).
