Enabling technology for lightweight structures and materials: the story of Eddytec
Eddytec is an innovative startup tackling a persistent issue in the manufacturing industry. Testing carbon composite materials is often time-consuming, complex, and costly. The company uses their technology to make this process faster, more efficient, and better integrated. With support from NLR, the startup is taking important steps towards technical validation and market application. We spoke to CEO and founder dr. Alina Chanaewa about how Eddytec grew from idea to impact.

Innovation and safety: the future of non-kinetic operations
Defence and safety are undergoing a period of fundamental change. The rise of new technologies is changing the nature of conflict, with a growing focus on non-kinetic activities such as cyber attacks, influence through social media, and the disruption and manipulation of electromagnetic signals. These developments pose new challenges for defence organisations, making it essential to find innovative solutions to ensure safety. NLR supports Defence with knowledge and expertise to remain effective in non-kinetic operations.

Cosmic radiation threatens the reliability of aircraft systems
Recently, a remarkable incident made the news: thousands of Airbus aircraft worldwide were grounded after cosmic radiation disrupted digital electronic systems. A problem long familiar in space applications is becoming increasingly relevant for aviation. Ongoing digitalisation is making modern systems more vulnerable to invisible radiation from space.

From cybersickness to effective training: exploring VR and MR
At NLR, we explore how virtual and mixed reality can transform flight simulation and the human factors involved. Simulators can be hindered by cyber sickness, a form of motion sickness that can occur when there is a mismatch between the motion you see in the virtual world and the motion you feelin the real world. Our research focuses on reducing that mismatch, so pilots can train longer, more effectively, and more comfortably. NLR tested three visual conditions: regular VR, VR-grid and Mixed reality.
