Float without jumping from a plane at iFLY Chicago–Rosemont. This two-flight indoor skydiving session near O’Hare pairs expert instruction with wall-to-wall airflow that simulates freefall.

You step into a glass cylinder and the room rearranges itself around sound — a steady thunder that becomes the very thing lifting you. In Rosemont, a ten-minute drive from O’Hare’s runways, iFLY recreates freefall inside an 800-horsepower vertical wind tunnel; the air is the partner here, a push that holds you aloft while an instructor shapes each body angle.

History
Commercial indoor skydiving evolved from mid-20th-century wind tunnel research used by military and competitive skydivers; facilities like iFLY adapted that technology for public experiences.
