Ifly Intro
The duration of freefall during the average skydive.
What is the 43-60 seconds?
A person who studies the world and how it works.
What is a scientist?
The correct position for flying in the tunnel.
What is spread out with hips forward and arms up?
The force of the earth that keeps us on the ground.
What is gravity?
The number of fans in the tunnel.
What is four?
The generation of our current tunnel.
What is 8th generation?
A person who designs and builds complex systems and machines.
What is an engineer?
A two finger pointed hand signal.
What is "straight legs"?
A push or a pull.
What is a force?
The location of the fans in the tunnel.
What is above and to the side of the flight chamber?
How the instructor moves around in the tunnel.
What is changing their body position?
A person who writes instuctions and code for a computer.
What is a computer programmer?
How to safely enter the wind tunnel.
What is falling forward with a straight back and hands up?
The force that pushes on an object to keep it flying.
What is drag force?
Maximum wind speed in the tunnel.
What is 160mph?
The reason parachutes used on Mars must be larger than parachutes on Earth.
What is less air density?
The words that STEM stands for.
What is science, technology, engineering, and math?
The reason we wear a flight suit.
What is increased surface area and easier for the instructor to hold on to?
The reason you can never fall in the tunnel, even if the power goes out.
What is the momentum of the air?
Type of system where the air stays inside.
What is a closed system?
Two factors that determine how much wind something needs to fly in the tunnel.
What is weight and surface area?
The type of science that studies matter and energy, including how things move and fall.
What is physics?
The amount of weight each wire of the safety net can hold.
What is 2000lbs?
What is terminal velocity?
Type of system where the air continues moving.
What is a recirculating system?
