CALM (Commercial Aircraft for the Lifting of Microgravity)

CALM (Commercial Aircraft for the Lifting of Microgravity) is an innovative aircraft designed to create brief periods of weightlessness for scientific research and training. It operates by flying in a special arc called a parabola, during which passengers and experiments experience near-zero gravity conditions similar to space. Unlike rockets, CALM can quickly ascend and descend, providing repeated microgravity sessions on demand. Its goal is to make access to space-like environments more affordable and flexible, enabling industries such as aerospace, medicine, and education to conduct microgravity experiments without the need for costly space launches.
