More about the project.

• We conducted 3D scanning of wooden two-blade propellers for NOVA 01 – this is important for accurate calculation of their configuration.

The ideal option for us is three-blade composite propellers. They have already been purchased, delivery is on the way. And "just in case," we also ordered two-blade wooden ones. Now we have a 3D model, which will help engineers perform all the necessary calculations and assemble them correctly to obtain the required characteristics.

• A large-scale engineering brainstorming session took place at the AERONOVA office!

The company's chief engineers outlined the concept, design solutions, and modeling methodology for the NOVA 35 airship, its unmanned cargo variant, which should be an efficient, austere, operational, and reliable aircraft.

As a result, the first concept of the power scheme of the rigid structure was formed, and a task was assigned to the calculations department.

• The AERONOVA team and specialists from MAI (Moscow Aviation Institute) visited "Sovelmash" – one of the leading technological centers in the country.

The purpose of the visit was to familiarize themselves with the company's capabilities, its production equipment, and potential for future cooperation in the development and manufacturing of the gondola for the NOVA 2 airship ordered by AERONOVA.

- We conducted a tour, studied the equipment.
- Assessed the capabilities for manufacturing complex components for airships.
- Discussed prospects for cooperation and joint developments.

We will soon return with a fresh news digest, stay tuned!
