Booklet: Applied research for aerospace industry, space and defence

Royal NLR operates as a non-profit, objective and independent research centre, working with its partners towards a better world tomorrow. As part of that, NLR offers innovative solutions and technical expertise, with the aim of making aerospace more sustainable, safer, more efficient and effective. We are the connection between scientific research, policy-based support and industrial development. Our knowledge and technology are at a world-class level. We use our state-of-the-art research infrastructure to experimentally assess the effects of new technology and check the feasibility of new concepts.

This booklet gives an overview of the broad spectrum of NLR’s knowledge, capabilities and research infrastructure.
