A wind tunnel skydiving simulator including a flight chamber that includes a section that is inclined to the vertical. For example, it can be curved in the vertical plane, and the shape of the curve is then a smooth transition from approximately horizontal to approximately vertical. This enables the skilled sportsperson to practice wingsuit gliding and other sports where there is substantial forward motion through fast moving air—something impossible with a conventional vertical wind tunnel skydiving simulator. With this invention, the air flowing past the flyer can hence include a substantial, sustained (for many minutes) horizontal, relative component—making wingsuit flying possible.
