ABSTRACT:
A freefall simulator for producing a controlled airstream in an upward direction, and at a control ed velocity to accommodate all of the human sizes, shapes, forms, and weights, and allow them to practice freefalling, or, freeflight, in an ultra safe environment, and to provide an instructional environment for purposes of teaching freefalling, or, freeflight. The freefall simulator is housed in a building specifically designed for this purpose, having a hydraulic drive train consisting of two separate hydraulic motors, one to provide from 0% to 50% of the power needs of the freefall simulator, and the other to provide the remaining 51% to 100% of the power needs on a controlled increase, on demand, of power to fit the size, shape, and weight of the participant. The entire building is designed for noise abatement, and also has an earth "Berm" surrounding the building to redirect any noise escaping the building into an upward direction.
