330 - Parabolic Flights at AirZeroG

omega tau - English only

When I was in Bordeaux with the DLR to report about their science campaign in September, I also talked to the team from AirZeroG/Novespace about the technical and aviation aspects of parabolic flights. These interviews are in this episode. I chat with Jean-FranΓ§ois Clervoy about the history of the company, with Eric Delesalle about piloting the parabolas, with HervΓ© Normand about the reasons for the potential sickness, and with Nicolas Barbotin about cabin safety. At the end of the episode I also provide some details about the technical problem that prevented parabolas during my own flight with the A-310 ZeroG.
