NOVA 01 test week | AERONOVA news
More details about the project.
This week is entirely dedicated to the assembly, testing, and ground trials of the NOVA 01 airship. On Monday, the AERONOVA team inspected the envelope.
What was tested on Monday?
• Filling the envelope to operating pressure – verifying strength and integrity.
• Testing the ballonet – analyzing resistance to loads.
• Leak testing – identifying possible weak points.
At the testing stage, the envelope was filled with ordinary air. The tests were successful, the team is satisfied with the results, and minor shortcomings identified in the process have already been taken into account for further work.
What is planned for today?
• Equipping and complete outfitting of the gondola.
• Installation of tail and nose reinforcements.
• Fitting of the tail thruster and mooring lock.
• Installation of the tail assembly.
Every day brings us closer to the first test launches. Follow the news—we will report on all stages of preparation!
