NOVA
Employee-Owned Austrian Innovation
Founded in 1989 and based in Terfens in the Austrian Inntal valley, NOVA Performance Paragliders is an independent, employee-owned enterprise with over three decades of free flight excellence. Situated right at the doorstep of world-class alpine testing sites like the Rofan and Zillertal, NOVA designs wings guided directly by real-world pilot demands rather than certification criteria alone.
Whether you are stepping up to local thermalling or pushing hundreds of kilometres across ambitious cross-country routes, NOVA brings an unyielding commitment to build quality, honest product classification, and optimal performance-to-safety ratios.
