Vomit Comet

[FlairFan]

After seeing the 'BIG Guinea Pig' in person at FF2015 and the 'RC Skydiver' videos, I had a thought. I'd love to see on-board video of some "action figures" in the cargo bay while it does some big parabolic climbs & dives... the FT Vomit Comet! Along with some telemetry data positive and negative G's that the plane goes through.

Not necessarily worthy of an entire episode. Maybe part of a "how else can we abuse it?" collection.

Whooo!

I think this idea is freaking awesome!

Custom build a guinea pig with a large internal "bay". Set up video feed inside.

Crunch the numbers hard to determine speed, dive angle, etc required to cancel out gravity inside the cabin.

That would be so awesome. With the right sensors and telemetry setup it would make for a really interesting and informative challenge.

Maybe you could also throw an (encased) amount of liquid within camera range and see if you can get it to "ball up".

Love this idea!
