Free Fall Simulation

The free fall simulators are used for the trai-

ning of the free fall phase during parachuting.
They can be used for military purposes as
well as civil activities in leisure parks.

Our free fall simulators have been developed

to be ready for the market.

The size as well as the design can be adap-

ted to the individual needs of the customer.

Facilities can be realised allowing only one or,

for instance, up to four persons flying simulta-
neously.
