Zero Gravity Flight in Vomit Comet

What's the Vomit Comet Zero Gravity Flight?

So Uncle Bob told you that there's a room at NASA where people can float? Well, he didn't quite get that one right - but there IS a cool plane that will let you float so you can get ready for space travel. Hold on to your seat AND your stomach! 

The ZERO-G Zero Gravity Flight Experience is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience true weightlessness. On our specially modified Boeing 727, parabolic arcs are performed to create a weightless environment allowing you to float, flip and soar as if you were in space. A ZERO-G Zero Gravity Flight Experience is available starting at $4,950 per person. Your ZERO-G Experience includes 12-15 parabolas, your own ZERO-G flight suit, ZERO-G merchandise, a Regravitation Celebration, certificate of weightless completion, photos and video of your unique experience.

Zero Gravity Flight in Russia

This tour is created on the basis of the zero gravity flight cosmonaut training program. During this exciting adventure you will have the same feelings as if you are in space in weightlessness. Within 1,5 hour Flight by the airplane-lab IL-76MDK you will experience weightlessness into 10 parabolas. You will have a great opportunity to feel as a real cosmonaut and make your first step to stars.

What is weightlessness?

It is a state of feeling utterly without weight restrictions, feelings of gravity and total freedom of movement. There are no limits for you in weightlessness you can fly! We offer you to dip into experience what only astronauts and cosmonauts alike have experienced. Do not confuse weight with mass!

The Ilyushin 76 MDK is the largest parabola aircraft in the world which was specially constructed for Zero-G flights and will take you up 6000 meters. Then it climbs at a very steep angle of 45 degree under full power where you experience 2-G, then, suddenly, the pilot will cease thrust, and from that moment you will be weightless!

Weightlessness is achieved by doing aerobatic maneuvers known as parabolas. Specially trained pilots perform these aerobatic maneuvers which are not simulated in any way. ZERO-G’s passengers experience true weightlessness.

Before starting a parabola, G-FORCE ONE flies level to the horizon at an altitude of 24,000 feet. The pilots then begins to pull up, gradually increasing the angle of the aircraft to about 45° to the horizon reaching an altitude of 34,000 feet. During this pull-up, passengers will feel the pull of 1.8 Gs. Next the plane is “pushed over” to create the zero gravity segment of the parabola. For the next 20-30 seconds everything in the plane is weightless. Next a gentle pull-out is started which allows the flyers to stabilize on the aircraft floor. This maneuver is repeated 12-15 times, each taking about ten miles of airspace to perform.

In addition to achieving zero gravity, G-FORCE ONE also flies a parabola designed to offer Lunar gravity (one sixth your weight) and Martian gravity (one third your weight). This is created by flying a larger arc over the top of the parabola.
