Data link flight testing

At NLR, we offer a unique combination of flexibility and affordability in our flight test facility, backed by over 100 years of experience in the aviation industry. Our modified and instrumented Cessna Citation II research aircraft is equipped with an antenna box that allows for easy installation of antennas, making it an ideal platform for testing data link systems. In case a smaller or larger aircraft seems more appropriate, we can advise on other options through our extensive network within the flight test community.

As a design organisation based on part 21, we operate with a strong focus on safety and efficiency. With our extensive experience in flight testing line-of-sight and satellite-based datalink applications, as well as operating our aircraft in high-latitude and remote locations, we are well-equipped to support a wide range of testing requirements. Whether your system-under-test is the data link system itself or another application that uses a proven data link solution, we have the expertise and resources to support you.

NLR can support you with:

  • Testing your data link system technology on-board an aircraft
  • Testing other applications that already use a proven data link solution
