XLDron "Zero Gravity"

Space tourism and research.
Only a handful of space tourist have actually made it to the outskirts of our planet, but with companies like Virgin Galactic already taking down payments on seats, it's only a matter of time before the cosmos become a sought-after vacation destination. This project aims to offer riders a quick trip where they can briefly experience zero-gravity and get a peek of our planet.
The unmanned XLDron, equipped with an Ultra-High Bypass turbofan engine, carries a separate module "Zero Gravity" to an altitude of around 35,000ft before the module's rocket engine launches riders and crew beyond the atmosphere to an altitude above 100km.
The module's rocket "Zero Gravity" could be use with different configurations, like a space laboratory or like a platform to launch little satellites into space.
