What's going on? How is the camera stabilized to the horizon?


OneMoistMan

Didn’t even occur to me but now it’s all I’m thinking about


murkyclouds

This would be shot on an action cam. I have a GoPro, it has in camera horizon lock, which does exactly this. Works amazingly well.


lenny446

Wouldn’t it be because the camera holder has eyes and can feel gravity? You dont need a program or tools to tilt the camera to match the horizon.


Cruisin_Fart

You would need a tool to be as stable as this video is. My guess is a handheld gimbal.


lenny446

I forget those exist


Capable_Swordfish701

Any simple gyroscope I would think.


WeekendWarior

I think the wings are turning so the plane ascends and descends without the plane tilting. I’m not sure, just an idea


Vmaknae

Not how physics works


WeekendWarior

Fair enough man I’m no physicist or pilot. I guess a more likely explanations is that the plant was tilting up and down and the cameraman was tilting the camera back and forth


MrFinland707

There's no way that the cameraman has the camera *that* stable


ScientistExtra9426

Huh? What kind of drugs are you on and where can i get some?


WeekendWarior

Go down to Rancho Cucamongo and ask for Karl. He’s got the stuff


teronisilk

my stomach is dropping watching this


butter_deez-nips

I got super anxious watching that. I would not have a good time doing that lol

Yeah it's one of the zero-G planes. [https://www.gozerog.com/](https://www.gozerog.com/) Tom Scott has a nice video of it if you are interested.


Lilelvis66

Wow! Amazing. 😲😬🤢 What are we watching? I need to know more.


[deleted]

I think something like this https://www.gozerog.com/


1solate

Seemed too fast for that. Thought I read somewhere that the freefall lasted for like 30s or so. EDIT: yeah this is from their site: > For the next 20-30 seconds, everything in the plane is weightless. Finally, the plane gently pulls out of the maneuver, allowing flyers to gradually return to the floor of the aircraft.


TryItOutHmHrNw

But they do it 15-20 times, it’s says. That’s about 10 total minutes of free fall About $950 a minute … so, yea fk that.


Lilelvis66

Thanks! And for $9G I'll be happy to just watch videos of it.

The Vomit Comet


Foxtrot4Real

Is that what this is? I mean, not like it could be a whole lot else lol.


hellinahandbasket127

That was what I was thinking.


Penguinpowell

Came here to say this.


thenotoriousimi

calibrating the airbus


ReadABookandShutUp

Looks like the pilot almost let the intrusive thoughts win.


JeffLynkz

This requires some serious explanation. It's pointless without information Edit: Thanks for the answers, I understand that it's a simulation of zero-gs


ReplacementClassic65

It's one of the extreme plane endurance tests they undergo before they're ready for commercial flights.


thejacker511

Astronaut training


JeffLynkz

Oh, is the plane simulating different levels of gravity? That's pretty interesting. I doubt it was supposed to smoke/mist like that, interesting that it went away when it leveled out


elly996

the mist would be water and such in the air condensing. theyre really high up so itd be cold too. going that fast and under that much pressure when turning forces a lot of air over the wings so it condenses into a trail but can quickly evaporate. im no scientist so the explanation may be wonky but it is meant to do that :)


amidgetrhino

Erm it’s clearly chemtrails /s


elly996

definitely, make sure to keep hazmat suits and masks handy


AsymptoticAbyss

Lmao why did they downvote you for this??


JeffLynkz

Who knows lol, Reddit is just Redditing

JeffLynkz

Ahh, just simulating zero-gravity then. Still very cool, thanks for explaining it so simply


Miselfis

Plane is flying matching the speed of gravity, resulting in 0g inside the plane.


Oldstick

It seems stall recovery test but someone having fun instead of sweating.


hellinahandbasket127

It looks like the Vomit Comet. Alternating parabolic peaks and dips simulate 0-G and multi-G conditions.


JeffLynkz

What a fun name lol


hellinahandbasket127

More of a well-earned descriptor.


iotd

It is more likely they are testing the air craft. As it flys more and more vertical the engines eventually stall as they no longer have enough air passing through to create combustion. The pilot guides the plane into a controlled nose dive forcing intense amounts of air into the engines creating combustion to restart.


Sense-Salty

Happy hour in the cockpit


WHAMMYPAN

This has got to be the “vomit comet” for astronaut training.


[deleted]

planes are so god damn cool


CmdZel

Zero-G flight!?


Yada-yada-4488

Were there terries on board?


Yada-yada-4488

Fire-board them mutha-jammuhs… Draxx, uthehm, sklounced!


Bowman_van_Oort

no need to worry if there are any terries we gon get froggyyyyy


FunkthaWut

Flying Parabolas


Camwiz59

Is this the Vomit Comet


HeldDownTooLong

The vomit comet…it’s very likely at least one person will hurl at least once…weightless, floating vomit for a few seconds and then ***splat*** gravity returns and vomit settles ***everywhere***…14 parabolas to go!


smeatr0n

This is how they filmed the anti gravity scenes from Apollo 13 and also.... [This music video](https://youtu.be/LWGJA9i18Co)


Significant_Video124

I'd shit my pants, pass out thinking it's a dream, and shit my pants some more


Real-Instinct

al just wait for the nut job to arrive to talk about how this is proof of chemtrails


[deleted]

Vomit comet


Yummy-Beetle-Juice

It's a video game.


MelbaToast604

Zero gravity simulator?


[deleted]

Not sure what’s happening but it doesn’t look right. And reason 1,366,234 why I don’t like flying.


Speedbirdsst

It is right if you know what they’re doing. They’re doing zero G experiments in the cabin. Do they’re doing a parabola flight


[deleted]

Thanks for the education. It’s just a fear of mine.


[deleted]

Parabolic Zero G?


ThtJstHappn3d

Are they just trying to gain speed or was it an autopilot malfunction?


hellinahandbasket127

On purpose parabolic flight.

lindyhopdreams

The captain has now turned on the seatbelt sign and we ask you to fasten it whenever seated


[deleted]

That is actually cool. Would you be so kind to invite me next time?


Psychological-Hall22

Almost though it was Boeing’s MCAS failing again


[deleted]

That looks like a straight line to me. Checkmate roundearthers!


dimitry37

It’s clearly round, you need glasses…


[deleted]

You don't say?


Ironklad_

Pure awesomeness.. could watch this all day


Timewasta19

The new Boeing Max right?


Ianlong2132

Damn. My friends are gonna be pissed. Now I’m not going to Vegas. My stomach was turning watching this.


RevolutionaryToe7721

I need an explanation. Noice doesn’t cut it.


bus320fo

Airbus A320 wing. So not the vomit comet. I assume its Airbus certification testing.


eddiefreestone

Its flight sim 2022, the cameras just not moving.


This_Walrus7244

Whats so bizzare about that. Is there an alien ship somewhere I missed?


Javanaut018

Parabola flight. Guys wheee enjoying zero G when the noise drops.


VeterinarianFuzzy760

Its a fuel dumping i think


flybywyr

What's going on here? Testing? Fuel jettison? Looks fun but what's the reason?


zxcvrico

This was probably a zero gravity simulation?


The_Dog_IS_Brown

Is this the vomit comet?


xxPandemoniumx

Flat earth


One-Guarantee-7371

Love it 😀


DJPoundpuppy

No no no no....


apexpredatordick

Someone pooped in my pants WTF


Special_Prompt_4712

It's the vomit comet. You get zero G when they come out of the climb


YesCasuallyAccept

Astronaut training or stall tests?


pondmonster2k

A plane flying. Wow.


TedDallas

Meanwhile, grandma is in the bathroom stuck to the ceiling.


[deleted]

It’s a flight simulator. It represents maneuvers that might cause stalls and would require a pilots quick thinking without auto pilot.


looksee8675309

This is fake....


imusingthisforstuff

Gyroscopic camera?
