Weightlessness isn’t just for NASA anymore!

What Kind of G-Flight Experience Are You Looking For?

The G-Flight Experience is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience true weightlessness. It’s not a simulation—it’s real life, minus gravity! 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.

G-Flight is the world’s only FAA-certified provider of weightless flights, held to the same Part 121 safety standards as passenger airlines. The G-Flight Experience is open to members of the general public of all abilities ages 8 and up. Weighlessness isn’t just for NASA anymore!

How Does Weightlessness during a Parabolic Flight Work?

G-Flight flies in FAA-designated airspace blocks approximately 100 miles long and ten miles wide. The process starts with the aircraft flying level with the horizon at an altitude of 24,000 feet. 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. During this phase, passengers feel the pull of 1.8 Gs. Next, the plane pushes over the top of the parabolic arc and the zero-gravity phase begins. For the next 20-30 seconds, everything in the plane is weightless.

Finally, the plane gently pulls out of the maneuver, allowing flyers to gradually return to the floor of the aircraft. The maneuver is flown 15 times over the course of the flight, each taking about ten miles of airspace to perform. In addition to zero gravity, flyers aboard G-Flight experience Lunar gravity (one sixth your weight) and Martian gravity (one third your weight), achieved by flying a wider arc over the top of the parabola. On a typical flight, parabolas are flown in sets of three to five, with short periods of level flight between each set.
