The Airbus A300 from Zero G. This aircraft was used for parabolic flights. So to simulate weightlessness. Stands in a former parking lot. There is an option to walk around the plane.

Now displayed at Cologne airport, the Airbus A300 Zero-G was used for 113 scientific campaigns. It also completed three observation missions on the atmospheric reentry of the cryotechnic main stage (CMS) of Ariane 5 for the CNES. In October 2014, the Airbus A300 Zero-G was decommissioned after 17 years of service. It carried out 13,183 parabolas, equivalent to 80 accumulated hours of weightlessness. Now displayed at Cologne airport. This is a piece of aviation history, originally F-WUAD and later F-ODCX, F-BUAD was the 3rd Prototype A300 built in June 1973. It was leased to General Electric in January 1989 as an engine testbed. Sold to SOGERMA in May 1996 it was leased to Novespace and operated for 11 years giving 'weightless' training to astronauts and others. Preserved since 11/2014 at CGN as a static display.

Ein historischer Airbus A300B2, der für Parabelflüge zur Ausbildung von Astronauten gedient hatte, ist nun per Kran an seinen endgültigen Ausstellungsort aufgestellt worden. Auf den "Parkplatz Nord" am Köln Bonn Airport. Bei dem historischen Flugzeug handelt es sich um den dritten A300B2-Prototyp, der im Juni 1973 zum Erstflug gestartet war und das älteste, noch komplett erhaltene Airbus-Flugzeug seiner art überhaupt sein dürfte. Der Airbus A300B2 "Zero g" war bis 2014 als Parabel-Flugzeug zur Erzeugung von kurzzeitigen Schwerelosigkeitsbedingungen im Flug im Einsatz. Insgesamt wurden mit dem Airbus über 13 tausend Parabeln geflogen. Ist wirklich ein sehr schöner Anblick von dem Flugzeug der mittlerweile 45 Jahre alt ist, sollte jeder der interessiert ist und gerade in der nähe ist sich anschauen. Würde es gerne auch von innen ansehen. Die Besichtigung ist wirklich zu empfehlen und wenn man eh am Flughafen Köln-Bonn ist...

I wasn't impressed with this place. Nothing special. There is a plane that doesn’t fly😅... There’s nothing special to look at...

(Translated by Google) In addition to the many tourist facilities that the city can offer, this is a very interesting and interesting tourist exhibition, the people who designed it. Outdoor aircraft. Airbus A 300. wider. Among the first is the flix bus, which often runs every day and you can go anywhere in Germany and much further, you can take a ticket on the platform. All praise for this tourist attraction. Come and see for yourself. (Original) Pored mnogih turističkih sadržaja koji grad moze ponuditi i ovo je vrlo interesantna i zanimljiva turistička izložba,ljudi kojih su ovo osmislili.Avion na otvorenom.Airbus A 300.izložen na sjevernom djelu parkinga u blizini terminala i stanice autobusa raznih prevoznika za sve gradove pa i šire. Među prvima je flix bus koji se često saobraća svakim danom i možete bilo kuda po čitavoj Njemačkoj a i mnogo dalje,kartu možete uzeti na peronu.Sve pohvale za ovu turističku atrakciju. Dođite i uverite se.

It's a nice Airport

Heute war Kinder Impf Tag. Super Lokation, den Kindern hat das drumherum super gut gefallen und von der Spritze abgelenkt. Sehr freundliche und engagiertes Impf Team. Danke tolles Event. Auch zu empfehlen das Kinder Impf Comic.

You have to drive through the airport grounds or to the gas station outside the airport and then look where you park. As soon as you drive through a barrier and just want to look at the plane, it gets expensive. I once had to pay 5 euros for less than 3 minutes through the airport, even though 10 minutes were free.

Nice Airplane Structure

(Translated by Google) Open air exhibition aircraft at the north parking lot not far from the bus station and Terminal 2 . Zero Gravity Aircraft from Esa. Impulsivr's plane that is always a pleasure to look at. It was a feat to get the Zero G there. (Original) Open air Austellungs Flugzeug an Parkplatz Nord nicht weit vom Busbahnhof und dem Terminal 2 weg . Schwerelosigkeits Flugzeug von der Esa . Impulsivrs Flugzeug das man immer wieder gern anschaut. Es war 1 Kraftakt das Zero G dort Hingestellt zu bekommen.

At terminal 1 coast with bus stop, taxi, airplane for all destinations in Europe.

Zero G aircraft parked in the middle of a roundabout near the airport.

amazing place

(Translated by Google) A nice display piece (Original) Una linda pieza de exhibición

(Translated by Google) Parabolic flight experiments (3 times) on this machine were fun and each parabola was weightless for about 20 seconds. (Original) Parabelflugexperimente (3 male) auf dieser Maschine spaß gemacht und jeder Parabel hat eine Schwerelosigkeit für ca. 20 Sekunden.

Sher interessant und nette Leute
