object in free fall, with no air resistance, would follow. Engine thrust is used to exactly compensate for drag. Weightlessness begins while ascending and lasts all the way "up-and-over the hump," until the aircraft reaches a downward pitch angle of around 30 degrees. At this point, the craft is pointing downward at high speed and must begin to pull back into the nose-up attitude to repeat the maneuver. The forces are then roughly twice that of gravity on the way down, at the bottom, and up again. This lasts all the way until the aircraft is again halfway up its upward trajectory, and the pilot again reduces the thrust and lowers the nose.

while remaining stationary relative to the aircraft. Objects orbiting the earth follow elliptical orbits and are in a constant state of free fall. The flight parabola is a small section of one of these elliptical orbits, but one where the perigee (lowest point) is well inside the earth. The aircraft, of course, does not follow this section of the orbit, which is why it pulls up at the start and end of the parabolas.

According to former Reduced Gravity Research Program director John Yaniec, anxiety contributes most to passengers' airsickness. The stress on their bodies creates a sense of panic and therefore causes the passenger to vomit. Yaniec gives a rough estimate of passengers, that "one third violently ill,

Parabolic paths are used for the reduced gravity portion of the flight because that is the path that objects follow when acted upon only by gravity and no other outside forces such as supports or air resistance. That way, objects inside the aircraft can be in free fall and experience weightlessness

Initially, the aircraft climbs with a pitch angle of 45 degrees using engine thrust and elevator controls. The sensation of weightlessness is achieved by reducing thrust and lowering the nose to maintain a neutral, or "zero lift", configuration such that the aircraft follows the same path that an
