![]() The plane will then return to the same airport from which it departed and Flyers will deplane. A total of 15 parabolas will be flown, providing approximately eight minutes of weightlessness. Once at altitude, Coaches will bring Flyers to their designated area in the floating zone and the weightless portion of the flight will commence. G-FORCE ONE will then head to its designated airspace which typically takes about 30 minutes. Flyers will then be seated and a brief onboard safety demonstration will be given by the Flight Attendants. Pictures will be taken in front of the plane prior to boarding. Transportation to G-FORCE ONE ® will differ depending on the flight location. Once screening is complete, all flyers will proceed to the aircraft. Please note that carry-on items are limited and must fit in your flight suit pocket. Flyers and Coaches will then proceed through TSA security screening. You will then change into your flight suit and have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. After check-in, you will meet your Flight Coach and the other flyers in your group. You will then be provided with a light breakfast and given additional instructions prior to your weightless flight. You will check in with your government-issued picture identification. Your flight day will last about five hours and will go as follows: If you have certain medical conditions, you must confer with your personal physician and obtain their sign-off. The Zero-G Experience is open to members of the general public of all abilities ages 8 and up. Weightlessness isn’t just for NASA anymore. On a typical flight, parabolas are flown in sets of three to five, with short periods of level flight between each set. In addition to zero gravity, flyers aboard G-FORCE ONE experience Lunar gravity (one sixth your weight), achieved by flying a wider arc over the top of the parabola. The maneuver is flown 15 times over the course of the flight, each taking about ten miles of airspace to perform. Finally, the plane gently pulls out of the maneuver, allowing flyers to gradually return to the floor of the aircraft. For the next 20-30 seconds, everything in the plane is weightless. Next, the plane pushes over the top of the parabolic arc and the zero-gravity phase begins. During this phase, passengers feel the pull of 1.8 Gs. The pilots then gradually increase the angle of the aircraft to about 45° relative to the horizon until reaching an altitude of 32,000 feet. The process starts with the aircraft flying level with the horizon at an altitude of 24,000 feet. G-FORCE ONE flies in FAA-designated airspace blocks approximately 100 miles long and ten miles wide. Zero-G passengers experience true weightlessness. Specially trained pilots perform these aerobatic maneuvers, which are not simulated in any way. Our specially modified Boeing 727 G-FORCE ONE ® aircraft achieves weightlessness by flying aerobatic maneuvers called parabolas. Zero-G is the world’s only FAA-certified provider of weightless flights, held to the same Part 121 safety standards as passenger airlines. 15 parabolas, including lunar and zero gravity.The Zero-G Experience starts at $9,070 + 5.2% tax and fees per person and includes: Our specially modified Boeing 727 flies in parabolic arcs to create a weightless environment, allowing you to float, flip, and soar as if you were in space. It’s not a simulation- it’s real life, minus gravity. The Zero-G Experience ® is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience true weightlessness.
