Video Proof: Seatless Airliner Concept Extremely Popular!

 Ha! I just love writing fun titles for aviation posts! And this one is all very true... the people riding in this airliner without seats are clearly very happy. It's actually a really interesting study of human nature. Grown people acting like crazy kids simply because the force of gravity has been artificially removed. I guess it gives a shred of hope for humanity at a time when hope, apart from the Maker, is getting hard to find.

 The people at ZERO-G seem to be doing pretty well these days at keeping their 727 (known as G-Force One) busy with a combination of scientific, educational, and just pure joy-ride flights. It's open to almost anyone these days, but you do need s small suitcase full of cash as the rides start at $4,950 each. A bit pricey indeed, but compared with a $200,000 ride with Virgin Galactic in SpaceShipTwo, you'll get about the same amount of cumulative weightlessness (around 6 minutes) and save $195,050 in the process! However, G-Force One (aka vomit comet) doesn't get very close to space... and the weightlessness isn't as authentic as Virgin Galactic will provide once they get up and running.

 If you don't know how ZERO-G makes all this floatability happen, check out this well done graphic explanation from USA Today on zero g parabola flights. And if you're interested in picking an upcoming flight with ZERO-G Airlines, check out their reservations page and start packing that suitcase : )
