Up, up and away.
Kate Upton has defied the laws of gravity for the 2014 50th anniversary of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
Aboard a specially modified Boeing 727 run by the Zero G Experience, Upton managed to keep her eyes on the camera and her bikini on her body as she and an S.I. crew pulled off a photo shoot in weightlessness.
"In my experience at Sports Illustrated, it's about the adventure," Upton said in a behind-the-scenes video from S.I. "It's so hard to explain how it feels. You're weightless, you're floating around, you have no control. But I got the hang of it."
The Zero G airplane achieves weightlessness by performing a series of parabolic arcs, in which the pilot pulls the aircraft up at 45 degrees to 34,000 feet and then pushes the plane into a descent in which zero gravity is achieved for 20 to 30 seconds.
