About NOVA
Driven by the idea of creating better wings, we founded NOVA in
1989. The company quickly grew into a significant manufacturer.
We rapidly consolidated and expanded our market position.
Our headquarters are in Terfens, near Innsbruck. Thanks to this loca-
tion we are 20 minutes from our local flying site, the Rofan. Due to its
proximity to lake Achensee, it is ideal for glider testing. Alternatively,
the Zillertal, the Stubaital or the southern Alps are close by.
As a paragliding manufacturer, being close to mountains is essenti-
al. Firstly we need appropriate terrain for good development work.
Secondly, we need to have our finger on the pulse and need to be
closely connected to our customers. In Tyrol and the surrounding areas
paragliding is more than a sport. This positive attitude translates into
our products, which assists us to keep making better paragliders.
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 lead us to being pioneers in the area of flow simulation,
where we can reasonably accurately predict many of the characteri-
stics of a new wing design on a computer.
The starting point
of our mission is to
build paragliders
which are safe and
simultaneously
high performance.
Performance and
safety, or rather the
correct ratio bet-
ween the two, make
for lots of flying fun
– and that is what it
is all about!
Thank you for your trust
