Safety Standards

---

Indoor skydiving has had a fairly short history. Modern tunnel flying has only been around since the mid-80's. Throughout the formative years, the specialized knowledge of working in a wind tunnel was gathered by the businesses, manufacturers, and individuals working in tunnels. These players ultimately came to formalize and standardize training and safety procedures for tunnels and their staff.

While most people associate skydiving with a thrill or bucket list activity, indoor skydiving is much more than that! Because people of all ages can fly, and fly as much as they like, indoor skydiving is becoming a worldwide sport. As of 2014, indoor skydiving was even recognized by the World Air Sports Federation (FAI) and now FAI competitions are taking place around the world. 

iDIVE Wind tunnels are equipped with three-phase asynchronous motors. This choice is determined by the high efficiency, reliability and durability of the three-phase asynchronous motors. In contrast to the internal combustion engines, the asynchronous motors don’t have rubbing elements, high local temperatures and high local mechanical stress. Design of the asynchronous motors uses minimum of the functional elements, namely a rotor, a stator and two bearings. Such a simple design results in high durability of the motors. In our wind tunnels we use asynchronous motors manufactured by the Top of the line companies which is one of the leading manufacturers of electric motors in Russia.

The quality of the iDIVE wind tunnel motors is ensured by the ISO 9001 standard quality management system which was certified by DQS Holding GmbH, Germany.
