What are Pallets? What is their advantage?
The 727 can accommodate 12 pallets (125″ x 88″) that enter through the cargo door and roll back into the aircraft. Users of ZERO-G’s services can obtain a set of pallets in advance of their flight. In this fashion, they can assemble their experiments, movie sets or special equipment on the pallets in advance of aircraft arrival. Once the ZERO-G aircraft lands, the assembled pallets can be loaded onboard, checked out, and flown within a short period. Loading and unloading pallets takes approximately 90 120 minutes.
