A hydraulic system for use during reduced gravity flight including: (1) a reservoir; (2) a hydraulic device; (3) a supply line providing fluid communication between the reservoir and the hydraulic device; (4) a return line providing fluid communication between the hydraulic device and the reservoir; (5) a supply valve located on the supply line between the reservoir and the hydraulic device and selectively configurable in an open or closed position; and (6) a return valve located on the return line between the reservoir and the hydraulic device and selectively configurable in an open or closed position; and (7) wherein the supply valve is adapted to prevent fluid communication between the reservoir and the hydraulic device when in the supply valve closed position; and (8) wherein the return valve is adapted to prevent fluid communication between the reservoir and the hydraulic device when in the return valve closed position.
