Wind gust 10 to 15 knots, the term "gusts" is used while "strong gusts" is used for departure of 15 to 25 knots, and "violent gusts" when it exceeds 25 knots. Wind gust A gust or wind gust is a brief increase in the speed of the wind, usually less than 20 seconds. It is of a more transient character than a squall, which last minutes, and is followed by a lull or slackening in the wind speed.

Vertical wind tunnel are operated year-round even in cold climates. Various propellers and fan types can be used as the mechanism to move air through a vertical wind tunnel. Motors can either be diesel-powered or electric-powered, and typically provide a vertical column of air between 6 and 16 feet wide. A control unit allows for air speed adjustment by a controller in constant view of the flyers. Wind speed can be adjusted at many vertical wind tunnels, usually between 130 and 300 km/h (80 and 185 mph, or 35 and 80 m/s), to accommodate the abilities of an individual and to compensate for
