“Andreas Wahl has always dreamed of being weightless like an astronaut. Now he gets the chance to explain why weightlessness is the same as being in free fall.”

NRK (the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) produced a film with Andreas Wahl explaining ‘weightlessness’. In the film, Andreas Wahl visits France to try Air Zero G's simulation of weightlessness. Our animation illustrates how the plane reaches the top of an arc and cuts the engines to go into free fall, before powering up again.

The second clip shows how the same applies to the space station, which is in constant free fall around the Earth.
