ESA’s parabolic flight campaigns are carried out using an Airbus A300, operated by the French company Novospace. It is a standard passenger jet with a few modifications. The biggest difference compared to a normal aeroplane is the removal of all the seats in the mid-section. This area is covered with a soft material and serves as the experiment area.
