Airbus 300 aircraft brings 0-gravity travel to Europe
by Gareth MankooGreat things in life can be yours if you have a wallet that overflows enough, to accommodate indulgence. For instance, to enjoy the kick that spacemen feel as they travel through realms that are devoid gravity, some would pay a rather large sum. The Airbus 300 offers around half a minute of gravity-free experience at the top of each loop, among the parabolas it flies. The complete air-time is about two and a half hours, which means that you can enjoy a total of five minutes of weightlessness.
The cabin within the flight is padded to avoid bumps and injuries. Three flights are scheduled to take wings by 2013. The capacity will be 40 adults and the price, a whopping 5,980 Euros ($7,770) per head.
