From 20 to 23 April a training course with STRATA Engineers was held at the NIBRAS Aerospace Park in Al Ain. The Desert Tulip participants KVE Composites, VisionWaves and NLR provided a four-day training course. VisionWaves’ focus was on knowledge […]
Recently NLR installed a new facility at its Marknesse establishment, which is now available for use by industry. The facility is a special oven in which composite parts can be cured, consolidated or annealed. The oven is 8 meters long […]
A composite armchair designed by designer Marleen Kaptein at NLR will be exhibited this week at the international design fair, ‘Salone del Mobile’, in Milan. View the photos here. Under the auspices of NLR’s incubator, Kaptein designed a composite armchair. […]
Inventors at the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR have submitted a patent application. The invention pertains to the contactless transfer of electrical power and data in the CROR engine. The invention occurred under the auspices of Clean Sky, the European Joint […]
Fokker and NLR have opened in Marknesse a manufacturing plant for composite aircraft components. The plant will produce composite landing gear components while also developing new manufacturing techniques for high performance composites. Other high-tech companies that develop composites can also use […]
Consortium wins prestigious innovation award A consortium led by NLR has won the JEC innovation Award 2015 for its composite front-loader bucket. The bucket was especially deemed a successful innovation owing to its increased capacity and weight reduction. The JEC […]
The DERPHOSA project saw NLR joining forces with several partners to work on new technology for cockpit displays. The new technology sailed through validation testing in 2014, at a 10-km altitude in extremely bright sunlight. The backlights in today’s cockpit […]
ESA, the European Space Agency, recently launched a re-entry vehicle to demonstrate the controlled return flight back to Earth. NLR comprehensively tested the descent of the vehicle for the supersonic flight regime in its wind tunnel in Amsterdam. The re-entry […]
