  2. Reduced-gravity aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced-gravity_aircraft

    The first zero G plane to enter service in Latin America is a T-39 Sabreliner nicknamed CONDOR, operated for the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Agency and the Ecuadorian Air Force since May 2008. [14] On June 19, 2008, this plane carried a seven-year-old boy, setting the Guinness world record for the youngest person to fly in microgravity. [15]

  3. Weightlessness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weightlessness

    Weightlessness is the complete or near-complete absence of the sensation of weight, i.e., zero apparent weight. It is also termed zero g-force, or zero-g (named after the g-force) [1] or, incorrectly, zero gravity. Microgravity environment is more or less synonymous in its effects, with the recognition that g-forces are never exactly zero.

    Zero Gravity "G-FORCE ONE" aircraft People in the reduced-gravity aircraft. As of August 2022, the price of a flight for a single passenger starts at US$8,200. [12] The unique Weightless Weddings Experience is also included in the list of services [13] Noah and Erin Fulmor were the first couple to get married in weightlessness. [14]

    All of the participants had one universal message for others who may be disabled. "Don't accept no if that's something you really want to do, because you're capable."

  6. Cost of transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_transport

    The metabolic cost of transport includes the basal metabolic cost of maintaining bodily function, and so goes to infinity as speed goes to zero. [1] A human achieves the lowest cost of transport when walking at about 6 kilometres per hour (3.7 mph), at which speed a person of 70 kilograms (150 lb) has a metabolic rate of about 450 watts. [1]

  7. Zero-fuel weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-fuel_weight

    ZFW is also defined as OEW + PL. The previous formula becomes: + =. For many types of airplane, the airworthiness limitations include a maximum zero-fuel weight. [1] This limitation is specified to ensure bending moments on the wing roots are not excessive during flight. When the aircraft is loaded before flight, the zero-fuel weight must not ...

    The range equation reduces to: = where =; here is the specific heat constant of air 287.16 J/kg K (based on aviation standards) and = / = (derived from = and = +). c p {\displaystyle c_{p}} and c v {\displaystyle c_{v}} are the specific heat capacities of air at constant pressure and constant volume respectively.
