Zero G with a parabolic flight

Postby gabel » Sun Jun 13, 2004 4:06 am

I have just tried the parabolic flight for simulating zero G for 17-20 seconds,this flight is used to train cosmonauts before their missions.
The actual flight is made with the Illiushin  IL-76 cargo plane,however I used the default B777 in this flight..... ;)

The flight begins in a nice morning climbing to 16,000
Image
Leveled at 16,000
Image
Now for the fun part,pull the elevator until the aircraft reaches about 45 degrees angle of attack(full throttle)
Image
Now elevators down just to the point to reach -1G,this will "eliminate" the normal 1G and the sensation will be as in spaceImage
Did you have your brakefast?
Image
Now the recovering(this is made with full spoilers not to reach overspeed)
Image
Now climbing back and starting all over again(I spared you guys) ;).
Back on the glideslope at UUEE

which panel is that?

Nice Flying! I did something crazy too, I took an FA/18-F Super Hornet to 40,000 feet then I cut the engines off and landed it on use of the the wind to keep it from falling hard and crashing! Should have took pics!  :'(

Nothing like some negative Gs to help you find your cornflakes ;D

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
