- tion, or ZERO-G, is the company behind "G-FORCE ONE," a converted Boeing 727 airliner that can simulate the feeling of being in space through what's known as parabolic flight.
- While a traditional airliner might be focused on being straight and level, G-Force One pilots are focused on climbing as fast and high as possible before turning over, at which point the effect of gravity is reduced for a few seconds and everything on the plane becomes weightless.
- The COVID-19 pandemic hasn't stopped these flights, though additional precautions are being taken.
- ZERO-G recently came to the New York City region where it partners with Blade to offer a helicopter flight and the weightless experience all in one morning.
- Take a look inside G-Force One and see how ZERO-G achieves the weightless effect that so many people crave, even during a pandemic.
