The Nova Coden is a Polish autogyro under development by Nova Sp. z.o.o. of Gdynia. It is intended to be type-certified, and it is planned that the aircraft will be supplied complete and ready-to-fly.[1]
Design and development
The Coden features a single main rotor, a two-seat-in tandem enclosed cockpit with a windshield, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants, plus a tail caster and a modified turbocharged four-cylinder, liquid and air-cooled, four-stroke 120 hp (89 kW) Rotax 912 engine in pusher configuration.[1][2]
The aircraft fuselage has an unusual multi-faceted design, based on the boxfish. The design allows the mounting of additional baggage and special mission equipment and incorporates patented main landing gear. The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 265 kg (584 lb) and a gross weight of 500 kg (1,102 lb), giving a useful load of 235 kg (518 lb).[1][2]
As of 2015, a prototype was reported to have been completed, and certification flight testing was expected to begin.[1]
