ADD and DNW sign MoU

On 22 November 2023 the Vice President of the South Korean Agency for Defence Development, ADD visited the DNW HST and SST facilities in Amsterdam. During this visit ADD and DNW signed a Memorandum of Understanding reinforcing the good cooperation between ADD and DNW. There is already a long standing relationship between the two companies and with this MoU both parties hope to further expand joint collaboration in the field of wind tunnel technology.

HST upgrade successfully completed

New 4-stage fan, new data-acquisition system, improved Mach control and many new faces.

NIFTI Consortium achieves final milestone at DNW LLF

A wind tunnel test for an Ultra-High Bypass Ratio turbofan inlet at off-design flow conditions was performed at the DNW-LLF in September last year.

Visit US Ambassador

The US Ambassador, Shefali Razdan Duggal, recently visited DNW and NLR in Marknesse as part as her introductory visit to Flevoland. During her visit she witnessed the strong and excellent collaboration between US aerospace companies and Dutch research institutions and businesses.  

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.
