Floating in zero gravity… on Earth?
How is that possible?
Air Zero G’s parabolic flights create a weightless environment by flying along a curved path called a parabola. This short period of weightlessness lasts about 22 seconds, during which people and experiments on board the parabolic flight can experience the same weightlessness as astronauts in orbit on the International Space Station.
The price to pay for this free-floating freedom is two short periods of hypergravity, during which everything weighs almost double for 20 seconds: first when the aircraft pulls up sharply and then again when it pulls out sharply afterwards to return to a normal flight path.
Each parabola takes about one minute to complete and is repeated 31 times in one flight, providing a total of about ten minutes of zero-gravity.
The flights provide European scientists with access to a repeatable, low-gravity research environment. Hundreds of experiments have flown over thousands of parabolas, enabling extensive scientific endeavours across many disciplines and resulting in a huge legacy of publications.

You actually experience zero G as soon as the plane stops accelerating upwards. It continues to ascend and then noses over and starts to dive. The pilots have to fly the plane around the zero G trajectory, trying to keep that 'line' in the middle of the fuselage. It's an amazing experience!
Super super super















Avete inventato Paxi giusto
È veramente bello

Vielen lieben Dank für euer Video.
Never vomit while zero gravity on the plane
I want to do it once in my life!
I’ll leave it to people that want to risk their health and life in space. Thanks human Guinea pigs.
Lol I want gravity to be turned off mainly for her stand up hair
Afghanistan, turkmanistan, pakistan
Canada, ottawa, america
Moon, australia, moon
its not actually zero gravity, The effect, is from falling. The space station and rockets are effectively always falling towards the earth.
