The object of this invention is to provide a skydiving simulator and a skydiving
training process using the simulator, which simulates the environment and other
conditions for purposes of skydiving training as if a skydiver performed a real
skydiving process from the step of riding in an airplane to the step of landing
on the ground. This simulator consists of a model fuselage (10), a rotary
hanger unit (30) supporting a skydiver having jumped from the fuselage,
and two fan units (40, 50) horizontally and upwardly forcing air currents
into an open simulation space into which the skydiver jumps from the fuselage.
Wind velocity sensors (46, 56) sense the velocities of the air currents
from the two fan units, and CCD cameras (47, 57) produce images of the skydiver
during the training process, and a central control unit (CCU, 60) controls
the simulator and the process in real time.
