Paraclete XP SkyVenture is currently the biggest vertical wind tunnel on the planet in terms of power and size. We aren't kidding when we say "big". Our tunnel has 4 fans at 541 horsepower each to give a great range of air speed for all requirements including free flying and military operations.
The diameter of our tunnel is also something to be quite proud of. At 16'4" in diameter (and 51' tall) - this tunnel opens up all new possibilities like doing any 4-way formation and most 8-way formations with ease and first-time flyers can not only practice flying in place but learn movement over a considerable distance.
Paraclete XP SkyVenture is a re-circulating wind tunnel and thus has many advantages over the "open air" design. Due to the location of our tunnel, in-chamber temperature control is a must and we have this capability with the re-circulating design. Temperature Regulation Doors (or Louvres) give the ability to keep the tunnel warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
I've been skydiving for 20 years; I learned more about flying my body in one weekend there last year, than all of my previous experience combined. I'm taking my 13 y/o daughter there this weekend for her first taste if body flight; I can wait. We have an hour and a half booked... :D

15 minutes in that very tunnel solved ALL of my skydiving instability issues. I fully recommend them to anyone.
