Zero Gravity Experience: Students Explore Weightlessness in Parabolic Flight

The video tutorial explores the Zero G flight, a specially adapted commercial plane that offers a weightless experience through parabolic flight. It details the mechanics of achieving weightlessness, the historical context of parabolic flights, and the European Space Agency's (ESA) program for students. The tutorial also highlights the challenges faced during the flight, such as the transition from double gravity to zero gravity, and concludes with the students' reflections on their unique experience.
