Wanna experience Zero Gravity ?  

Posted by Hari in ,

Your childhood dream to fly like superman can be achieved now. G-FORCE ONE® is the aircraft to make your dream come true. You can experience Zero Gravity without going to space only here. Book a seat in any of the regular flights conveniently based in Las Vegas, Nevada and at the Kennedy Space Center, near Orlando, Florida. Zero Gravity Corporation (ZERO-G) is a privately held space entertainment and tourism company.

How?

Weightless Flight (also known as Parabolic Flight) is achieved aboard ZERO-G's Boeing 727 aircraft named G-FORCE ONE. Weightlessness is achieved by flying G-FORCE ONE through a parabolic flight maneuver. Specially trained pilots fly these maneuvers between approximately 24,000 and 34,000 feet altitude.The maneuver is somewhat like a roller coaster in that the plane is initially pulled up to approximately 45 degrees 'nose high'. Next the plane is 'pushed over' the top to reach the zero-gravity segment of the parabolas. For the next 25 - 30 seconds everything in the plane is weightless. At approximately 30 degrees 'nose low' a gentle pull-out is started which allows the Flyers to stabilize on the aircraft floor. Finally, the g-force is increased smoothly to about 1.8 g's until the aircraft reaches a flight altitude of 24,000 feet. The maneuver is then repeated.


Cost ?

The ZERO-G Experience, which includes training led by a professional astronaut, a flight of 15 parabolas, flight suit, complimentary merchandise, awards, a post-event party, photos, and a DVD of the flight, is offered at a price of $3,950 per seat. They provide photos of everyone taken by a professional.
