NLR can help you measure and monitor the behaviour of your structures and components by instrumenting them on-site or in our facilities, allowing us to capture a wide range of parameters such as strains, forces, crack growth, deformation, displacement, vibration, geometry, impacts, temperature, (residual) stresses and stress distribution. We use a broad range of advanced surfacemounted-, integrated- or contactless- sensors to provide you with accurate and reliable data. This enables you to make informed decisions about your structures and components.

When critical components, structures, or systems fail, understanding why is essential to maintaining safety, reliability, and performance. At NLR, we specialise in identifying the root cause of failures, whether they result from material defects, operational stresses, or unexpected environmental conditions. Our experts provide independent assessments, in-depth investigations, and actionable recommendations to help you prevent future failures, optimise production, and minimise costly downtime. At NLR, we don’t just identify the problem – we help you prevent it from happening again.

Do you want to ensure that your flat, stiffened or curved panels or sub-components can withstand the most extreme environmental conditions and maintain their structural integrity? Unlock the full potential of your development, validation or certification plan, with NLR's expert testing solutions.
At NLR, we offer cutting-edge testing solutions that can help you achieve your goals. Our state-of-the-art facilities and expert team can simulate all kinds of load conditions, tensile and/or compressive loading, biaxial loading, cabin pressure loading, in combinations with a wide range of temperatures, extending from -180°C to 120°C, and simulate various atmospheric conditions, including dry, humid, corrosive, or saturated environments. Furthermore impacts or artificial defects can be applied or repairs can be performed. This allows you to thoroughly test your panel's performance under realistic conditions.

NLR can help optimise aircraft maintenance training, enabling technicians to spend less time on training and more time on the job, while improving their competency levels. This leads to a reduction in aircraft on ground (AOG) costs and overall maintenance expenses, resulting in a more efficient and effective maintenance process.

NLR can help you evaluate and validate your aircraft simulation using wind tunnel data, covering the entire flight envelope, including the stall region. We also offer a cost-effective solution to extend your simulation for upset recovery training, and provide support in defining and meeting certification requirements for implementing upset recovery and loss-of-control simulation in your flight curriculum.

NLR can support the development and optimisation of human machine interfaces (HMIs) for various aerospace applications, including flight instruments, dynamic traffic signs, air traffic controller support tools, and virtual- or augmented reality based training tools. Whether it's designing a new HMI, evaluating an existing one, or updating and extending current systems, NLR can help integrate different data sources into one coherent and efficient tool. This enhances operator performance and safety.
25 February 2025
NLR can help assess the workload of aerospace operators, including air traffic controllers, pilots, and other professionals, providing valuable insights into operator overload or underload. By combining objective and subjective data, we can accurately express workload levels, enabling informed decisions to optimise operator performance and safety.
