NLR and E-Flight team up for electric flying

Electric flight offers promising prospects for aviation, whether using batteries or liquid hydrogen as an energy carrier. During a joint flight, Michel Peters of NLR and Evert-Jan Feld of E-Flight Academy reaffirmed their partnership to conduct further research in this area.

NLR and Cryoworld collaborate on flying with liquid hydrogen

NLR is taking a further step towards more sustainable flight by partnering with Cryoworld to develop a liquid hydrogen tank. This follows the agreement with zepp.solutions for a fuel cell system. The new collaboration contributes to NLR's ambition to conduct a demonstration flight on liquid hydrogen in 2026.

Emission inventory and reduction

NLR’s expertise covers Air Traffic Management (ATM) technology and concepts, aircraft and airport operations, airport and airspace capacity, safety, aircraft and community noise, aviation emissions and impact mitigation options. We have developed and apply powerful and validated tools, for combined aircraft noise, emissions and third party risk calculation around airports (TUNA, LEAS-iT, TRIPAC), and an emissions policy analysis tool for aviation stakeholder analysis (AERO-MS), a virtual community noise simulator (VCNS), and airport tower and ATC fast-time simulators (NARSIM).
