"Flying is one of the safest options to travel, but to keep it that way, research remains necessary. That's why we work every day on improving flight safety by increasing knowledge of the conditions in which aircraft fly through research and innovations." Gerard van Es is principal consultant flight operations and flight safety at NLR, the Netherlands Aerospace Centre.

Morgen is het 55 jaar geleden dat de Apollo 11 missie geschiedenis schreef. Op deze dag in 1969 zetten Neil Armstrong en Buzz Aldrin als eerste mensen voet op de maan. 🛰 🌌 Bij NLR werken we aan de toekomst van ruimtevaart met innovatieve projecten, bijvoorbeeld door lasertechnologie en lasersatellietcommunicatie, en onze bijdrage aan de Military Use of Space ambities van MINDEF (NL) in samenwerking met TNO en Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt - FFI. Nederland heeft op het gebied van ruimtevaart een unieke kennis en technologische positie om op te excelleren. Daarom is het belangrijk om te blijven investeren in een veilige en bloeiende ruimtevaartsector. #Ruimtevaart #Maanlanding #Apollo11 #Samenwerking #Innovatie

Ever wondered what it’s like to be an air traffic controller? ✈️ With Performance-Based Training (PBT), we continuously seek to improve the feedback quality and objectiveness of instructors. The challenge at hand is how to get insight into trainees' cognitive processes. The INSPECT project explored the use of objective and physiological data to assess the performance of (military) air traffic control trainees. The goal is to develop a technology demonstrator that gives instructors insight into particular competencies such as Situational Assessment, Workload Management, and Problem Solving & Decision Making. This approach enables the development of training courses better aligned with individual students' performance and learning progression, ultimately leading to improved operational performance. ➡ Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e7Hfrfdv #TechnologyDemonstrator #PerformanceBasedTraining #Training

Op 9 juli heeft NLR de ingebruikname van het zonnepark Sunspace in Marknesse officieel aangekondigd. Dit is het grootste zonnepark voor HVC tot nu toe! ☀ 📢 Daarmee kunnen de zonnepanelen groene stroom gaan leveren, vergelijkbaar met het stroomverbruik van 17.000 huishoudens. Lees er meer over in het onderstaande bericht 👇 🌐 https://lnkd.in/dmNx9E9P DNW - German-Dutch Wind Tunnels | HVC | Gemeente Noordoostpolder | Stichting Energieneutraal Noordelijk Flevoland (#SENF) #sunspace #duurzameenergie #samenwerking #energietransitie 📸 Klaas Elssens (namens HVC)

The coming launch of the ESA’S Ariane 6 rocket marks an important highlight in Europese’s ambition for autonomous access to space. For the development of Ariane 6, ESA is working with an industrial network of several hundred companies in 13 European countries, led by prime contractor ArianeGroup. As NLR, we are proud to be part of that network. In the period 2014-2020, we equipped the three wind tunnel models for ArianeGroup with a significant amount of static and reference dynamic pressure sensors, related to various stages in the development of the Ariane 6 rocket: - Aerodynamic characteristics of basic layout - Buffeting and acoustic characteristics of detailed aerodynamic shape - Aerodynamic characteristics of detailed aerodynamic shape The results from the wind tunnel tests performed on the models have delivered the design teams of ArianeGroup valuable data to be able to advance the design over the years. We wish European Space Agency - ESA, ArianeGroup, ARIANESPACE and CNES and all other parties involved, a very successful launch and first mission on 9 July 2024!

“As a test pilot, you need to understand what the engineers are developing and want to test. You also have to be able to translate this to the operational environment of a cockpit. To successfully carry out this dual function, it’s a great advantage that I also fly commercial scheduled flights. Because that means I know exactly what’s happening in the cockpit of passenger aircraft." Arun Karwal works as a Research Test Pilot at the Flight Operations department of NLR, the Netherlands Aerospace Centre.

The European Clean Aviation CONCERTO Project is aiming to develop a comprehensive set of regulations for aircraft, that will apply to the three main thrusts of clean aviation: hybrid-electric regional aircraft, ultra-efficient short and short-medium range aircraft disruptive technologies for enabling hydrogen-powered aircraft. Furthermore, it aims to assess the feasibility of a digital certification framework that will help collaboration and model-based certification. Find out more about this R&D case: https://lnkd.in/eup39ajb For more information about the Concerto project and the partners: https://lnkd.in/e-4ZcyzW
