- To expose your application to in-flight zero- or low gravity conditions (e.g. Moon or Mars)
- To save on your experiment cost
- To perform only a limited number of parabolic manoeuvres, without the obligation to take more
- To use a facility that is solely dedicated to your project, allowing for a customer oriented and confidential project environment
- To return to base whenever your application is not functioning as it should, thereby saving valuable flight test time
- A modified and instrumented Cessna Citation II research aircraft capable of performing zero or partial gravity flight manoeuvres
- A relatively small aircraft which allows for low cost, yet provides enough cabin space for many low gravity applications
- Flight operations that are dedicated to a single customer or project, which allows for:
- Performing of only those parabolic manoeuvres that are required by the customer (saving time and budget)
- Aborting a flight whenever your application requires so (saving flight time)
- Confidentiality and protection of intellectual property rights
- A flight test organisation which offers flexible (re)scheduling of flights and a short time between project request and flight test execution
- A number of standard and certified cabin configurations for experiment setups
- A Part 21 based design organisation to support installation of your application onboard our aircraft when needed
- A flexible and affordable flight test facility representing more than one century of experience
- Experience with low gravity flight operations in the field of:
- Fluid physics
- Sensors and systems
- Mechanical structure (wing bending)
- Physiology
- Low gravity flight guidance / flight director testing
- Instructions (aerospace engineering curriculum)
- Demonstrations
- Training (pilot flying skills)
