About NOVA
64
64
Driven by the idea of creating better wings, we founded NOVA in 1989. The com-
65
pany quickly grew into a significant manufacturer. We rapidly consolidated and ex-
65
panded our market position.
66
Our headquarters are in Terfens, near Innsbruck. Thanks to this location we are 20
66
minutes from our local flying site, the Rofan. Due to its proximity to the Achensee
66
lake, it is ideal for product testing. Alternatively, the Zillertal, the Stubaital or the
66
southern Alps are close by.
67
As a paragliding manufacturer, being close to mountains is essential. Firstly we
67
need appropriate terrain for good development work. Secondly, we need to have
67
our finger on the pulse and need to be closely connected to our customers. In Tyrol
67
and the surrounding areas, paragliding is more than a sport. This positive environ-
ment translates into our products, which assists us to keep making better paragli-
2
ders - tailored to the demands of our customers.
NOVA has a highly qualified staff team, nearly all of whom share the same passion
for flight as the pilots who choose to fly NOVA wings. This passion and our know-
how are the drivers of our innovation. For example, it led us to being pioneers in the
area of flow simulation, where we can reasonably accurately predict many of the
characteristics of a new wing design on a computer.
