Pesawat terbang koreksi gravitasi

Pesawat terbang koreksi gravitasi atau pesawat terbang gravitasi rendah atau Pesawat terbang tanpa bobot adalah jenis pesawat terbang sayap tetap yang menyediakan lingkungan singkat tanpa beban untuk melatih astronaut, melakukan penelitian dan membuat gambar film tanpa gravitasi.

Versi pesawat terbang semacam itu, yang secara resmi diberi nama Weightless Wonders, dioperasikan oleh NASA Reduced Gravity Research Program. Jabatan tidak resmi "vomit comet" menjadi populer di kalangan mereka yang menjalankan operasi mereka.
