As used by Nasa to teach astronauts how to deal with weightlessness.

And nicknamed by them 'The Vomit Comet' for good reason.

the 30 odd seconds of fear as it flys about the plane, fear that you'll be underneath it when they switch the gravity back on.

been reading about it in smart life magazine, says they let you experience 1.8x the normal force of gravity when climbing upto 34,000ft

Then nosedive and firstly simulate martian gravity so you feel 1/3 of your normal weight. Then lunar gravity 1/6 of normal. Then onto zero gravity

And then

It's not a nose dive, it's a parabolic arc...
