Whitepaper: Cold Testing has become hot

NLR heeft baanbrekende werk verricht aan geavanceerde koelsystemen voor materiaal- en structurele tests, waarbij temperaturen variërend van -55°C tot extreme temperaturen zoals -253°C zijn bereikt. De toekomstige doelen van NLR omvatten het testen van volledig schaalbare waterstoftanks, brandstofsysteem-componenten en waterstof-elektrische aandrijfsystemen zijn cruciaal voor het bereiken van netto-nul-emissies tegen 2050. De continue technologische vooruitgang en hoge eisen benadrukken de cruciale rol die koude testtechnologie speelt in de luchtvaartindustrie.

NLR Portfolio: Innovations for Military Capabilities

For over a century, Royal NLR has been a dedicated and knowledge-based innovator. Proud of our royal predicate, we act as a strategic partner for the entire Netherlands Defence organisation.
We focus on timely capability development to bolster national security. We build operational flexibility directly into defence systems through sustainable solutions, ranging from alternative energy to unmanned vehicles. When rapidly evolving threats emerge, our 'fast innovation lane' quickly adapts civil technology for immediate military use. This forward-thinking approach extends to mobility as well. We are shaping the future of transport by integrating aviation with other networks and pioneering smaller, electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft.
