"New Generation Airships" — scam or not? We thoroughly analyze the accusations and respond to criticism.

Recently, articles have appeared accusing the "New Generation Airships" project of scam, illegal activities and fraud.

It's important for us to maintain transparent relationships with project participants, so we decided to openly discuss the questions that have arisen and provide reliable information firsthand.

Successful brands, innovative ideas and new projects often face a wave of misunderstanding, condemnation and speculation, and here's why.

- Innovators attract increased attention, which generates both positive and negative assessments.

- Internet users don't have a complete understanding of the project's essence, easily believe spread speculation and continue the chain of knowingly false comments and judgments.

- Competitors use information wars, spreading disinformation to weaken their rival's positions.

- Authors of some content resources attract attention to their platforms with loud and provocative materials that have nothing in common with reality.

- Society experiences anxiety about changes and perceives risks radically and prejudicially, presenting their fears and doubts as real facts.

- Emotional response is amplified by social networks, causing individual accusations to grow into mass unrest.

Many successful brands have faced criticism, unfounded accusations, denial and negativity, for example, Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, McDonald's, Amazon, Google, IKEA and others. But this didn't destroy the companies' reputation, on the contrary — it made them stronger, allowed them to identify important points requiring additional clarification, and see vectors for development.

We have carefully studied the questions and objections related to the "New Generation Airships" project, and have prepared detailed answers to them in this article.

SOLARGROUP has existed in the crowdinvesting market since 2017.

More than 76,000 investors from around the world have joined the projects.

More than $100,000,000 in investments have been attracted to projects for which SOLARGROUP helps organize financing.

More than 500,000 users have registered on the investment IT platform.

The first project — "Duyunov Motors", which started in 2017, has reached the final stage, is preparing for commissioning and completion of financing.

"New Generation Airships" is the second project developing together with SOLARGROUP.

The zero stage of the project was announced on August 7, 2024. The project successfully fulfilled the goals of pre-launch and the first stage, moved to the 2nd stage of financing and shows impressive results.

- The first stratospheric apparatus was launched, which everyone could follow.

- Tests of the unmanned airship NOVA-01 were successfully conducted.

- A mockup and functional gondola for the NOVA-2 airship were developed.

- Active negotiations with potential customers began.

- A cooperation agreement was concluded with Bauman Moscow State Technical University, which provides for joint work on innovative projects, development of new technologies and conducting scientific research.

- Federal media show interest in the project, a report was aired on NTV channel.

The "AERONOVA" team is actively working on setting up the airships' autopilot, which will significantly expand the aircraft's application possibilities in the future.

Parallel to flight tests, preparation of the production base and equipment necessary for deploying autonomous airship production is underway.

Active search for suitable premises to launch the workshop is ongoing. One of the promising options is the technopolis "Moscow", however other sites are also being considered.

Purchase of an aerodrome is planned. Upon purchase, project investors will receive a share in a real asset.

Work continues on developing the NOVA model range. Engineers are working on creating cargo and passenger versions — NOVA-2, NOVA-8 and NOVA-35. This will allow offering the market a wide range of solutions meeting various needs in cargo and passenger transportation.

In November, the project goes international and will be presented at the largest international air show in Dubai.

Also in the near plans:

- airship certification,

- launch of pilot batch of NOVA-2,

- development of demonstration route,

- launch of own workshop for producing airship envelopes,

- launch of new version of NOVA-01 with increased payload up to 50 kg.

"AERONOVA" — a company that is currently developing and testing the first airship models within the "New Generation Airships" project. This company will receive income from project implementation and distribute it among investors.

Now investors acquire SOLARGROUP investment shares.

After financing completion, investment shares will be exchanged for "AERONOVA" shares.

The "Duyunov Motors" project is not connected to the "New Generation Airships" project.

SOLARGROUP organizes financing for each project but doesn't unite them. After financing completion, "AERONOVA" and "Sovelmash" won't intersect.

The projects are in a single personal account. This decision is dictated by economic feasibility and accelerated launch strategy.

Thanks to the unified platform:

- The SOLARGROUP team can service several projects at once, redistributing resources without quality loss.

- The new "New Generation Airships" project started quickly, without the need to create an entire infrastructure from scratch.

- More funds are directed to project development, not to the service apparatus.

A single account is optimization that allows projects to grow faster and more sustainably.

The "New Generation Airships" project is implemented by "AERONOVA" in cooperation with leading scientific centers and universities, such as the Engineering Center "Stratospheric Systems" of Bauman Moscow State Technical University and Moscow Aviation Institute.
