Abstract
A body flight simulator of quick and efficient assembly and operation, includes the ability of having multi-flight areas to facilitate the teaching and skill building of novice users, as well as the ability for performances of experienced users. In addition, it includes easy viewing by observers, noise reduction and minimized environmental impacts. Finally, the modular nature of the components, allow for the assembly of modular arena stages, capable of having elongated/widened body flight areas.
Claims16
A modular body flight simulation apparatus comprising:
- a base comprised of one or more air movement modules, each said module comprised of an air intake, one or more air movement component(s), airflow deflectors and conditioner components and an air exhaust opening connected to one or more air flow transition components;
- a tower having two or more flight areas, each pneumatically connected to said one or more air flow transition components, each said flight area shaped by the angle of said tower walls, so that the lowest or first flight area has tower walls with an angle ∝, wherein said angle ∝ is equal or larger than 0.5 degrees past the vertical, the second lowest flight area has tower walls with an angle β, wherein β is larger than ∝, and any further flight areas have tower walls with wall angles larger than β;
- and
- one or more opening(s) along the perimeter of said first flight area for allowing access to said first flight area.
