NLR has been an ambitious applied research organisation for over 100 years, driven to make aerospace more sustainable, safer, efficient and effective through innovation. 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. NLR works in an objective and independent manner, for and with (inter)national industry and government.

NLR contributes to a safer and more sustainable society while strengthening the competitive position of the Dutch industry. Using this approach, NLR plays a pivotal role between science, industry and government at home and abroad, bridging the gap between fundamental research and practical applications. In the field of aerospace, we are the strategic partner of the Dutch government and Defence, and whether we work for SMEs or large international companies, our commitment is the same for every project. Together with our partners, we contribute to shaping the fascinating world of tomorrow.
