10 axis, 3 person motion controlled flying to
simulate "free fall". Two flying rigs were suspended from a hanging dance
floor covered with Lexan. One rig stood on the stage floor. Each flying
rig used air bearings to glide smoothly, while the 3 axis hydraulic end
manipulators were controlled by the motion control computer. Below L to R,
actress, Kristin Peterson, and stuntman, Christopher Tuck, go for a test
flight.

floor unit could also telescope up/down. The floor unit was designed
by Phil Cory, and built by Richard Cory. Body casts were taken for
each actor, to provide a comfortable and secure harness. |
