Scientific flights
Weightlessness or microgravity is an unrivalled tool for many scientific disciplines. It allows scientists to study phenomena that, on Earth, are masked or modified by gravity. Gravity-free flights on board the Airbus A310 Zero G therefore help to increase knowledge in almost every area of research. The Airbus A310 Zero G is a flying laboratory shared by multidisciplinary and multinational teams.
Our servicesDiscovery flights
Gravity-free discovery flights are open to anyone wishing to experience the incredible sensations offered by weightlessness. Composed of fifteen parabolas, each parabolic flight produces the same weightlessness as astronauts experience in space. Accompanied by astronaut Jean-François Clervoy, passengers also take part in exhilarating onboard activities. What’s more, these flights make unique and eye-catching corporate communication tools.
Our gravity-free discovery flightsNovespace: the European operator
Air Zero G by Novespace is the only zero-g operator in Europe, with 30 years of experience in organizing gravity-free flights. The Novespace Airbus A310 Zero G is the zero-gravity aircraft with the largest volume in the world.

Zero-gravity scientific research flights
Countless experiments have been conducted in zero gravity across a complete range of fields, including medicine (physiology and cell biology), fluid physics, combustion, atom physics, and biology. Parabolic flights can also be used to test innovative technologies or improve the ergonomics of systems operated by astronauts.
Physiology and cell biology
Study the phenomena or reflexes specific to weightlessness, for a better knowledge of the human body.
Physics
Observe phenomena specific to weightlessness for fluid physics, atom physics and combustion.
Space technology
Test innovative technologies that can be used in spacecraft, such as cooling systems, and deployment or folding systems.
Equipment ergonomics
Improve the ergonomics of systems operated by astronauts.
