First and only professional vertical wind tunnel in Belarus, which is a part of the U.S. iFLY international franchise.
iFLY Minsk is currently one of the largest and most sophisticated projects of its kind in the world. Its diameter is 4.3 meters and its height is 16.7 meters!
The convenient location at the Palazzo Mall in the center of Minsk also makes iFLY Minsk a unique wind tunnel project. In most cases, such facilities are located on the outskirts of cities in standalone buildings.
HOW IT WORKS
iFLY patented high efficiency fans with a combined power of 1 MW.
They generate up to 250 km/h of wind that is directed down the sides of the tunnel under the building and back up into the flight chamber. The result is smooth wall-to-wall cushion of air on which anyone from 3 to 103 can safely fly.
You should not worry about any unforeseen power cuts. If this happens, the engines will run down, so you will descend gently and safely.
iFLY invented the recirculating wind tunnel for bodyflight and continue to lead its innovation to allow us to deliver the dream of flight to everyone.
Indoor skydiving is my biggest love. I am passionate about so many disciplines, I have worked as a kite-surfing instructor, I fly and teach paragliding, but nothing beats the freedom and pleasure of flying in a wind tunnel. I am constantly improving my personal flying and coaching skills, I am an active international judge, and I have participated in major world Dynamic Flying competitions. I teach flights at all levels, I love working with children. I am happy to help you both make your first steps in the world of indoor skydiving and move forward to unprecedented heights.
Coaching strengths: Comprehensive development at any level, preparation for competitions, fun :)

I can easily teach any beginner to fly from scratch, as well as help develop professional skills in all of the most exciting indoor skydiving disciplines: 2way and 4way VFS, 2way Dynamic. I am a skydiving instructor, I teach AFF course, I train athletes and do tandem jumps, enabling people to explore new horizons and embrace new experiences.
Coaching strengths: I am good at teaching the hardest stuff – flying at low speeds.

I absolutely love the air flow and am willing to share this love with everyone. It is important to me that a student should enjoy the very process of learning to fly in a wind tunnel. I easily hit it off with flyers of any age. I teach such disciplines as FS, VFS, and Dynamic. I will be your guide to the world of indoor skydiving, or help you get intimate with it. Flying is awesome!!!
Coaching strengths: An individual approach to anyone. I am good at explaining things and making any info so clear that you will have no questions, you just need to fly!
I am willing to share my invaluable experience and awaken the winner within everyone. I am looking forward to meeting those who will love it, who wish to learn to fly and enjoy freedom!
Coaching strength: Freestyle.

I love flying because every time I feel my body in a new way. I love teaching others because I genuinely enjoy the progress my students make. Teaching kids to fly is a special pleasure, because not only my little flyers enjoy the process, which looks like a game – I just love it as well. My heart belongs to dynamics, but I will always have time for freestyle. Do the split on the ground, and in the air flow everything will be simple :)
Coaching strength: I always praise and support students. I love to have fun and cheer them up during practice!

I flew in the tunnel for the first time two years ago as part of my AFF course. I fell in love with the sky at once, I adore the feeling of flying, freefall. I began to actively learn and develop in this sport. In a very short time I became an instructor and now I'm ready to share my experience and knowledge.
Coaching strength: I inspire people to follow my example, I can teach basic flying skills from scratch.

I am positive that in order to learn how to fly on your own you have to be able to teach others to fly. That is why from my very first day in the wind tunnel I have been trying to understand thoroughly how our body works in the air flow and where to start learning each new element. If mastering new techniques is critical to you, then you've come to the right place. It is your call which discipline to fly, but I can tell you this: Dynamic forever!
Coaching strength: In-depth analysis, varied approach to mastering new techniques.

I started my parachuting career in 2015. I am a member of the current European wingsuit record. I love to skydive, and even more I love to fly. Many years of experience as a snowboard instructor taught me to see the key nuances of technology in a wind tunnel. With great pleasure I will share the pleasure of the flight with you!
Coaching strength: I understand what a specific person needs to make it work.

I have more than 13 years of experience in customer service, including four years in wind tunnels. I do the work that seems invisible, but iFLY Minsk is impossible without it.
Since the completion of AFF in May 2014 I have done 230 parachute jumps.
I also have 85 hours of tunnel time. I won the 2017 Spring Break silver in the advanced class.
I spend most of my free time with my son, I do freediving and scuba diving. I'm hopelessly addicted to cats and cannot imagine my life without yoga and books.
