About
The Hurricane Factory Prague (formerly Skydive Arena) is located in the capital of Czech Republic. As a prototype wind tunnel built according to the Strojirna Litvinov technology, it is powered by four strong axial fans that create a smooth wind stream inside the round 5 meter-glassed flight chamber.
After or in between your flights, you can have a meal in the restaurant, enjoy good food and benefit from an excellent view on what is happening inside of the tunnel.
