View through the window of the A300 Zero-G Airbus (Novespace) during a parabola generating 22 seconds of weightlesness. A fantastic experience.

  • Goddamn, I wouldn't get in that airplane for all the money in the world XD

  • Remember, it is NOT "zero G". Gravity didn't turn off just because the airplane flew like that. The effects of gravity (standing on the floor, buoyancy, sedimentation, etc) are drastically reduced because the airplane (and everything in side) are traveling in a path like a free-fall parabola.

    Just like a ball thrown across a baseball diamond, it falls up then down in a free fall.

  • How long is it flying 45 degrees up, then back down for?

  • Dang it's like ur 23,000 ft

  • @DIME10NASA that's right dude.. but at least we could feel the similar thing.. the G-force is about 9.8 m/s.. so if we fall in that speed, 9.8-9.8 = 0.. is that as same as the space G-force?

  • @Dime10Nasa But it is "zero G" in the sense of a "G" being a measurement equal to the acceleration of gravity. In the same way that in a fast jet, you might experience several Gs even though gravity itself is the same.

  • Does the plane stalls when climbing? OK. even when it´s stalling...

  • @AZIlluminati08 learn to grammar.

  • @MyBooh15 jesus christ shut your bible humping god loving mouth, jesus this jesus that, abraham hit me witha whiffle ball bat
