Airborne space simulator with zero gravity effects
First Claim
1. An airborne space simulator, comprising:
- an aircraft having a cargo hold area, the aircraft being capable of taking off and landing; and
only one single portable cabin module independent of the aircraft cargo hold area for being fixedly mounted inside the cargo hold area spaced a distance away from the side walls of the aircraft cargo hold area of the aircraft, the only one single portable cabin module having a closed interior space simulating an interior of a spacecraft designed for space flight, with seats inside and attached to the only one single portable cabin module, and side window video screens and sound emitters for displaying recorded audio/video positioned between the aircraft side walls and an exterior of the only one single portable cabin module to simulate sensory effects of space flight travel liftoff, wherein the only one single portable cabin module is stationary within the aircraft cargo hold area when the aircraft physically takes off from ground level to simulate motion effects of space flight travel liftoff to passengers in the seats within the only one single portable cabin module; and
helmets for each of the seated passengers, the helmets having cabin air intake vents on a front portion of the helmets, and built in wire-less headsets for allowing each of the seated passengers to hear remote verbal directions and commands.

Abstract
Systems, devices, apparatus and methods of using a simulator cabin module with an interior space which replicates a space ship, where the simulator module is mounted in a real aircraft, as a real airborne simulator. The aircraft lifts off to provide airborne maneuvers such as parabolic flight paths to cause G force and zero gravity effects to passengers in the cabin module. The cabin module includes rows of seats where passengers experience realistic sounds, lights, different temperatures, and physical effects (vibrations) of space ship liftoffs and space travel by having realistic simulation effects distributed over the seated passengers. Passengers can be seated in special reclinable seats with 5 point harnesses and pilot helmets with operable wireless communications and uniforms to add to the realistic simulation effects. Simulator modules can also be mounted in other moving vehicles, such as but not limited to submersibles, ships, and the like.
