NOVA‑2: Tail‑fin Assembly Completed and Test Stands Prepared

Aeronova continues work on the NOVA‑2 airship across several areas.

Our specialists completed assembly of the first tail fin, painted it and covered it with a special fabric. The finished component passed dimensional checks and is ready for integration into the vehicle’s control system.

We have designed and built a detachable test stand for evaluating envelope power elements, allowing inspection of struts, frames and other components. The stand is in its final preparation stage and will be the first practical tool for moving from analytical models to system testing. In addition, we built a frame for testing 48‑volt generators. In the near term, our team will begin checking the power transmission line from the gondola to the tail steering unit. Since the gondola’s power scheme is structurally complete, we are now developing the power and signal cables for the distribution network.
