I used to enjoy doing Zero G arcs in Aerobatic aircraft.

I always found the hard part wasn't maintaining zero G vertically, but laterally. Zeor G=Zero induced drag, so the aircraft has a tendency to accelerate.

I'd be interested to know what thrust setting they need to maintain a zero acceleration during the arcs in the 727.
