The Flow Duct Facility (NLR-FDF) contributes to research on noise reduction techniques to reduce aircraft noise. The research is carried out during the early development phase (low TRL) or to improve existing systems. The research is conducted during the early development phase (low TRL) or to improve existing systems. The FDF is a closed-loop wind tunnel for testing sound in turbine simulation at flow dimensions and speeds. Upstream and downstream of the test section, anechoic chambers are positioned to accurately measure sound levels.

Materials and equipment used in aerospace applications have to meet a wide range of special requirements, mainly due to the specific environment in which aircraft and spacecraft have to perform reliably and safely. NLR’s extensive capabilities and expertise in the field of airworthiness certification is complemented with state-of-art research infrastructure for aerospace systems performance and airworthiness compliance testing.
