Best Answer

The name is given to any airplane that's flown in an up-and-down path to provide brief periods of weightlessness. For many people, their first exposure causes disorientation and dizziness, leading to nausea.

Originally weightlessness flights were only a part of training people for space travel. Today they're used for other scientific experiments and, if you have the money to pay for it, as a kind of thrill ride.
