The New Generation Airships project is a project for the development, production and commercial operation of innovative airships. The project is implemented with collective investments.

Objectives of the project
- Development of multi-purpose, transportation, passenger and tourist new generation airships.
- Establishing a sustainable business for the development, production and operation of airships.
- Establishing a market for airship transportation services.

Primary objectives of the project
- Establish a design office and pilot production of airships on the premises of AERONOVA.
- Buy a land plot for an aeronautic center and design its infrastructure.
- Develop and conduct flight tests of the NOVA-01 unmanned airship.
- Develop and make full-size mock-ups of NOVA-2 and NOVA-8.
- Build a hangar for NOVA-2.
- Set up a training center to train airship pilots and technicians.
- Manufacture and test S-2 stratospheric probes.
- Prepare local transportation and logistics solutions based on the above airship types.

Further development of the project
- Expand the range of airship types, establish their serial production.
- Create global transportation and logistics solutions, launch commercial operation of multi-purpose, transportation, passenger and tourist airships.
- Participate in global commodity flows, expand the range of airship models and tap into new markets.

Airships designed for passenger and cargo transportation will use helium, an inert gas. The use of phlegmatized hydrogen may be considered for unmanned and stratospheric airships.

49 billion investment shares will be sold in the project.

Several companies are involved in the implementation of the New Generation Airships project, each focusing on its own area of work.

AERONOVA is the parent company, which is established specifically for implementing the project. It is engaged in the development of airships and construction of an airship facility; it will serially produce, operate and sell aircraft, train pilots and technicians. This company will generate income from implementing the project and distribute it among the co-founders. The official website of the company.

SOLARGROUP is an investment facilitating IT platform and co-founder of AERONOVA. The company organizes funding for the New Generation Airships project by means of collective investment. The responsibilities of SOLARGROUP include marketing support of collective funding, organization of the investment facilitating system represented by the back office and payment acceptance functionality, as well as elaboration of the legal framework. The company has developed a modern IT platform for mobilizing investments with more than 500,000 people from all over the world registered on it. The company has successfully mobilized funding for the Sovelmash D&E project where advanced electric motors are already being developed and investors are about to get their first dividends. The official website of the company.

The minimum investment amount in the project is $ 50. This is the monthly payment amount when buying a $ 500 investment package on a 10-month installment plan.

The project is planned to be implemented within 3 to 5 years.

$ 100 and $ 250 packages are not planned to be introduced yet. You can buy a $ 500 package on a 10-month installment plan with a $ 50 monthly payment.

The most energy-efficient of the four known principles of flight in modern aircraft is aerostatic flight, which airships rely on. Energy is not needed to generate the aerostatic (Archimedes) lift force, and overcoming the frontal resistance of the airship in flight requires relatively small energy expenditures.
New generation airships will offer a number of major advantages over heavier-than-air aircraft (airplanes and helicopters):
- high economic efficiency,
- environmental friendliness (in terms of noise and CO2 emissions),
- no restrictions on travel routes,
- the possibility to fly solely on solar energy in the long run.

Advantages of airships

- Long range and duration of flight.
- Vertical takeoff and landing (no need for an airfield).
- Possibility of door-to-door transportation of heavy and oversized cargoes, receiving and releasing cargoes from the air.
- Natural flight safety.
- High eco-friendliness due to the low level of anthropogenic impact on the environment and the possibility of transition to environmentally friendly hydrogen and solar energy.
- Low power-to-weight ratio.
- Low material intensity and high mass efficiency of the structure.
- Low operating costs.
- Low specific consumption of hydrocarbon fuel.
- Low noise level.
- A negligible level of anthropogenic impact of the required infrastructure on the environment.
- Possibility of landing without ground crew on small-sized platforms, including roofs of high-rise buildings and hotels in city centers and technology parks.
- Possibility of parking with an anchor system in a fixed position for loading and unloading operations.
- Possibility of landing on water.

The New Generation Airships project is funded by crowdinvesting (or collective funding). This means that every person from any country, except for countries with limited investment, can invest in the project and become a co-owner of the innovative business to profit from all the future commercial projects of the company.

Each investor of the project gets investment shares in SOLARGROUP, which is one of the co-founders (49% of shares) of the parent company AERONOVA. Upon completion of the project funding, the parent company will be reorganized into a joint stock company, and the investment shares will be exchanged for the company's shares.
Each investor in the project signs the investment agreement, its appendices, and a certificate specifying how many investment shares are owned by that investor. These documents can be drawn up both electronically and in hard copy.
A small minimum investment amount, high probability of earning a profit, as well as legal protection of invested funds make investing in the project appealing even for novice investors.

The planned capitalization is $ 1 billion.

There will be a total of 1 billion company's shares in the project. 500 million company's shares will be distributed among the investors.

Half of AERONOVA (49%) goes to the investors (SOLARGROUP). 51% is allocated to the team implementing the project: the company will use this money to develop further.

The AERONOVA Design Office is located at: 5a Bolshaya Akademicheskaya St., Moscow, Russia.

The development of aeronautics halted about 100 years ago, now airships are few in number and are used mainly for advertising and tourism. Thanks to cutting-edge technologies, our aircraft with a wide range of applications will be especially sought after in hard-to-reach and extended regions.
Cargo and passenger transportation: door-to-door transportation of containers, oversized and heavy cargoes to anywhere in the world, loading and unloading from the air.
Geology: development of extractable resources, cartography, environmental monitoring.
Oil and gas industry: transportation of liquefied helium, equipment and crews.
Forestry: integrated environmentally friendly development of hard-to-reach forests, firefighting.
Space: transportation of launch vehicles, rescue operations.
Tourism: multi-day cruises around the globe, flights to the North Pole in airships equipped with comfortable cabins, concert halls, restaurants and recreation areas.
Communications: transfer of information by means of stratospheric airships.
Special tasks: rescue operations, monitoring of urban and natural areas.
Other applications.

The planned service life is 10 to 20 years for transport aircraft and up to 25 years for tourist aircraft.

It is possible to produce 10 to 20 airships per year thanks to the built hangars.

The airships are expected to enter the market in 1 to 2 years.

Airships are now mainly used in tourism because there was no need for mass use. They were used locally throughout the 20th century and are still used today.

Airships will utilize internal combustion engines, electric motors, and hybrid motors, depending on the task performed.

Electric motors for airships can be replaced by motors developed by Sovelmash. Sovelmash is ready to engage in the development of electric motors based on the terms of reference developed.

Innovative airships can be used for a wide range of tasks, in various fields. Therefore, potential customers to order aircraft are companies that are looking to considerably optimize the economy and logistics of their business, and use completely new opportunities for development.
Major government and private organizations have already shown strong interest in our airships.

The very principle of lift force generation ensures airborne stability. And modern control and automation systems ensure safe operation of all airship units and mechanisms. Modern structural materials are stronger and more reliable than materials from the past and are not susceptible to combustion at the same time.

The project needs $ 100 million to be implemented (including referral rewards and project servicing costs).

In order to establish a highly profitable business, there are a few basic tasks that need to be accomplished and that require funding:
- establish a facility where different types of airships will be developed, mass produced and maintained,
- develop, manufacture and certify several airship types;
- establish a training center to train pilots and technicians;
- set up serial production of aircraft;
- launch our own operating company.
Intellectual and tangible assets will be built in the process of establishing the above, represented by premises, land, buildings, patents and technologies with further capitalization.

Every adult person from any country (except for countries with limited investment) can join the project, invest the amount available to him/her and become a co-owner of the parent company in order to profit from all the future commercial projects of the company.

The company's annual profit is planned to be between $ 350 million and $ 370 million.

The project implementation is divided into 20 stages and a pre-launch stage (stage 0).

Airships are the only mode of transportation that is not limited by travel routes!
The most energy-efficient of the four known principles of flight in modern aircraft is aerostatic flight, which airships rely on. Energy is not needed to generate the aerostatic (Archimedes) lift force, and overcoming the frontal resistance of the airship in flight requires relatively small energy expenditures.
New generation airships will offer a number of major advantages over heavier-than-air aircraft (airplanes and helicopters):
- high economic efficiency,
- environmental friendliness (in terms of noise and CO2 emissions),
- no restrictions on travel routes,
- the possibility to fly solely on solar energy in the future.
Economic advantages of airships:
- lower cost of transportation (by 250% lower than that for airplanes, 1,000% lower than that for helicopters),
- higher carrying capacity (70% higher than that of airplanes, 1,000% higher than that of helicopters),
- optimum speed (higher than in land and water vehicles),
- long range (intercontinental, round-the-world and stratospheric flights),
- maximum duration (possible to fly continuously without landing for several months, in the long term - years),
- low infrastructure costs (no airfields are needed for takeoff and landing).

Environmental advantages of airships:
- lower fuel consumption (unlike airplanes, airships don't need fuel at takeoff, move forward on regular gasoline and partly solar energy),
- safe lifting gas (helium for passenger vehicles, hydrogen for unmanned stratospheric ones, and solar energy),
- flight safety (cannot go into a spin or catastrophic tilt),
- low noise and vibration levels (transportation is comfortable for everyone),
- less impact of infrastructure on the environment.

Moreover, modern airships are safer and more comfortable for people.

Manufacturer information is a trade secret.

Factory tests don't need permits, certified airships get flight clearance right before the flight, similar to the way it is done for light aircraft.

Yes, it is. Gas can be heated or cooled safely.

The airships will utilize an unmanned system developed by us in-house.
