Royal NLR has been an ambitious, knowledge-based organisation for more than a hundred years, with a deep seated desire to keep innovating. To that end, we offer specific, innovative solutions and technical expertise. We do this for instance at NLR’s state-of-the-art research infrastructure and field labs, simulators and wind tunnels.
Since 1919, our professionals work tirelessly on new technology, never hesitating to think outside the box when developing market solutions that match contemporary trends and respond effectively to global challenges. In the series ‘NLR People’, we show you who these experts at the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre are, what drives them, and what they are working on behind the scenes.
