Overview
SMART series is everything you expect to see in a contemporary wind tunnel. Just like their bigger sibling (PRO line wind tunnels) SMART features all the forefront technologies and know-hows of Tunnel Tech, yet in a cost efficient and slightly less volumetric package. SMART wind tunnels are designed for venues that aim into entertainment market yet fully capable of serving needs of professional and sport training. Available in two sizes, 3.6 meters and 4.3 meters, the Smart series features default 4-meter-tall cylindrical glass section with constant airspeed favourable for sport flyers. However just like all Tunnel Tech machines glass section may optionally be upgraded to any hight for indoor and outdoor display. Maintaining high performance while significantly reducing overall costs and spatial requirements SMART series retains all safety features pioneered in the PRO series. Fully compliant with FAI standards for international indoor skydiving competitions, these machines are a standout choice for any project where prestige and sport training ambition go hand in hand with feasible business or military training.
Key advantages of the SMART series:
- Baseline active cooling system:
Complimentary turbulence and resistance free cooling through hollow turning vanes makes the SMART series an ideal choice for rather hot climate areas, ensuring consistent performance regardless of external temperatures. Outstanding heat-exchange qualities took our Active Cooling solutions far beyond wind tunnel application and may be applied for energy recuperation and other industrial uses.
- High Wind Speed:
As required for competitions and advanced training scenarios, the wind speed is 270 km/h.
Durability:
Key material choices contribute to wind tunnel longevity and performance. The axial fans are equipped with carbon-fiber blades not prone to wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting, reliable performance. FRP air ducts offer a strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant solution that enhances structural integrity. Chemically strengthened multi-layer glass known for its non-shattering properties enables safe training even in full military gear and definitely withstands a wedding ring strike (unlike tempered glass).
- Enhanced Safety:
The flight chamber design ensures a decrease in wind speed in the upper part of the flight chamber, preventing flyers from crashing into the top vents. The even diffusion of the airflow inside the flight chamber guarantees turbulence & drop-free entrance/exit that significantly reduces the risk of falls and injuries. Safety net with near-wall deflection protects flyers from serious accidents result from collisions and sliding on the wall.
- Energy Efficiency:
The Smart series wind tunnels minimize energy consumption, thus reducing operational costs and environmental impact while maintaining high performance.
- Customization Options:
The Smart series wind tunnels can be easily customized to meet specific requirements. Upon request, the glass section can be extended up to 11 meters, providing even greater visibility and an enhanced flying experience.
Versatile Applications
SMART series wind tunnels are suitable for a variety of uses, including:
Entertainment Flights:
Perfect for casual flyers looking for a thrilling experience, the Smart series wind tunnels are an excellent addition to shopping malls and retail centres. They provide a unique attraction that draws visitors and enhances the entertainment offerings of such venues.
Indoor Skydiving Competitions:
The design and performance of the Smart series meet the standards required for hosting world-class indoor skydiving competitions. Holding sport events brings visitor and media attention and as a result increases the facility recognition and popularity.
