Kate Upton defied gravity in one of her photo shoots for Sports Illustrated’s 2014 Swimsuit Issue. And it was insanely awesome. The SI Swim crew boarded a Boeing 727 run by the Zero G Experience, in which they planned to shoot in zero gravity. Weightlessness is attained through a series of aerobatic maneuvers known as parabolas, where the pilot pulls the aircraft up at 45 degrees to an altitude of 34,000 feet, and then pushes the plane into a descent to create zero gravity for 20-30 seconds. ‘The ZERO-G experience was really exhilarating for everyone involved,’ MJ Day, senior editor of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, said.

‘We have been almost everywhere in the past 50 years with SI Swimsuit, but we have never done anything like this. ‘It was certainly the most out-of-the-box shoot. ‘Once again, Kate surprised us all with how she handled modeling in weightlessness.’
