 * Answer one question each: 2 points**

What kind of plane is used? And how long does it take to achieve the appropriate altitude? The plane it’s call Boeing 727, G-FORCE ONE. It is a specially modified plane when the weightlessness is achieved by doing aerobatic maneuvers known as parabolas. Specially trained pilots perform these aerobatic maneuvers. ZERO-G’s passengers experience true weightlessness. all the experience takes about five hours. Depending on the approved airspace, it takes about 30 minutes to reach appropriate altitude. The flight has twelve-fifteen parabolas are flown for an approximate weightless time of eight minutes. Julieta

What does a weightless environment allow you to do? Aboard our specially modified Boeing 727, G-FORCE ONE, weightlessness is achieved by doing aerobatic maneuvers known as parabolas. Specially trained pilots perform these aerobatic maneuvers which are not simulated in any way. ZERO-G’s passengers experience true weightlessness. Before starting a parabola, G-FORCE ONE flies level to the horizon at an altitude of 24,000 feet. The pilots then begins to pull up, gradually increasing the angle of the aircraft to about 45° to the horizon reaching an altitude of 34,000 feet. During this pull-up, passengers will feel the pull of 1.8 Gs. Next the plane is “pushed over” to create the zero gravity segment of the parabola. For the next 20-30 seconds everything in the plane is weightless. Next a gentle pull-out is started which allows the flyers to stabilize on the aircraft floor. This maneuver is repeated 12-15 times, each taking about ten miles of airspace to perform. micaela

What is Northrop Grumman? Northrop Grumman is a Corporation. In early 2006, Northrop Grumman Corporation and ZERO-G embarked on the Northrop Grumman Weightless Flights of Discovery, a bold, high profile education program. Nearly 250 teachers from 49 states and 22 countries received cutting edge and inspiring training that they transferred to an estimated 10,000 students that year. In 2007, the Northrop Grumman Foundation expanded the program, training more than 450 math and science teachers in 8 cities across the country. Providing professional development workshops and experiment integration flights, Northrop Grumman and ZERO-G reached more than twice the number of students as in year one. In 2008, the Northrop Grumman Foundation instructed an additional 240 educators, bringing the total number of teachers trained through ZERO-G Education Programs to more than 1,000 from all 50 states and 25 countries. Through the Weightless Flights of Discovery Program, the Northrop Grumman Foundation along with ZERO-G continue to make critical strides in advancing U.S. science, technology, engineering and mathematics education.
