Abstract
We present evidence for a nonzero pressure, superfluid phase transition of in 98.2% open aerogel. Unlike bulk which is a superfluid at at all pressures (densities) between zero and the melting pressure, in aerogel is not superfluid unless the density exceeds a critical value . About 90% of the added above contributes to the superfluid density.
