Lilium continues testing at DNW
In April, Lilium continued testing their world’s first all-electric vertical take-off and landing jet at DNW-LLF. The eVTOL jet is designed to offer leading capacity, low noise, and high performance with zero operating emissions, representing a significant leap in sustainable aviation. Tests were performed on a 40% scale model with engine jets. Film footage made during the test can be viewed on the DNW YouTube channel.

Launch Ariane 6
By using surface pressure measurements and dedicated load measuring instruments, a large database was established for further analysis and design optimisation.ESA’s Ariane 6 launch will inaugurate a new era of autonomous European space transportation, powering Europe into space to realise its ambitions on the world stage. The Ariane 6 rocket was launched from a modern launch complex at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, carrying with it not just a variety of spacecraft, but also European goals for prosperity. The decision to start developing Ariane 6 was taken in 2014 to respond to the continued need to have independent access to space, while offering efficient commercial launch services in a fast-changing market. ESA, with its Member States and industrial partners led by ArianeGroup, is developing new technologies for new markets with Ariane 6. The versatility of Ariane 6 adds a whole new dimension to its very successful predecessors of which several types also have been tested in DNW facilities.

DNW powered by the sun
The solar park was developed by HVC and the Stichting Energieneutraal Noordelijk Flevoland (SENF) with the aim of making an active contribution to accelerating the energy transition. The solar park covers an area of some 250,000 m2, which is comparable to 36 football pitches and is connected to the electricity grid via DNW's existing grid connection. The availability of the green power reduces over 18,000 tonnes per year of CO2 emissions and because the solar park is connected to the power grid via DNW's transformer, DWN can obtain their power directly from Sunspace to make their operations more sustainable.
