(Afstudeer)stage communicatie

Bij de Duits-Nederlandse Windtunnels bieden wij per direct een uitdagende (afstudeer)stage aan. Tijdens je stage ga je je richten op het inzetten van de diverse communicatiemiddelen en die zo optimaliseren dat het zowel potentiële nieuwe medewerkers als ook de veelal internationale klanten aanspreekt. Ook draag je bij aan de interne communicatie en help je bij het organiseren van evenementen.

Opening of DNW’s Automotive Test Section (ATS)

Exclusive Invitation-Only Opening of DNW’s Automotive Test Section (ATS)

World's First Test Facility for WLTP Testing of Larger Vehicles Now Open

Located in Marknesse at the DNW-LLF (Large Low speed Facility), Europe's largest wind tunnel, the Automotive Test Section (ATS) is the result of significant investment by the German and Dutch governments in response to stricter emissions regulations. The facility will play a crucial role in supporting the development of more sustainable vehicles, contributing to the climate goals set by both governments.

Visit KonKuk University and Kari

Beginning of February, DNW director Joost Hakkaart visited Korea together with the CEO of NLR Michel Peters to strengthen the existing 20-year relationships with key partners, including Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and LIG. During this visit, Joost visited KonKuk University in Seoul and KARI in Daejeon who are both partners in the STAR project for which a helicopter test will be performed at DNW-LLF later this year. At KonKuk University, Joost presented the DNW organization and their role in the development in Sustainable Mobility and Future Vertical Lift for a group of professors, PhD’s and master students.

DNW-ATS wins facility of the year award

In December 2024, DNW officially opened its state-of-the-art Automotive Test Section. This cutting-edge facility is the first of its kind in the world, enabling the accurate measurement of rolling and air resistance of larger vehicles in compliance with the European mandatory Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP).

Opening DNW-ATS

Eve Air Mobility successfully completed wind tunnel testing at DNW – LLF

In a video available at YouTube, Johann C. Bordais, the Eve Air Mobility CEO, Luiz Felipe R Valentini, CTO, and Edgard Takara, Wind Tunnel Testing Engineer at Embraer, explain how these tests refine aerodynamics, flight mechanics, structural loads, and aeroacoustics under Power-ON conditions. These insights contribute to refining our aircraft’s performance and maturity, advancing its development toward certification.

Holger Mai Director DNW

It gives us great pleasure to announce that Holger Mai is appointed as Director Germany of DNW as per 01 June 2025.  The current Director Andreas Bergmann retired on 31 May 2025. For a good transition, Holger already joined DNW on 1 April 2025.

Researchers in Braunschweig develop optimised aircraft wings

One of the goals of the Cluster of Excellence for Sustainable Aviation is to reduce emissions and energy consumption. The flow behaviour of aircraft, especially at the wings, plays a role in this. For experiments on this topic, the researchers use the Braunschweig Low-Speed Wind Tunnel (NWB) of the Foundation German-Dutch Wind Tunnel (DNW). The wind tunnel enables a very low degree of turbulence, so that boundary layer behaviour of the flow similar to that in free flight experiments can be simulated here.

"Aerospace plays a strategic role. It is included in eight out of ten areas of the Dutch national technology strategy," states CEO Tineke van der Veen. "Space technology, for example, plays a crucial role in mapping migration flows, provides insights into the climate for food security and supplies the Ministry of Defence with vital operational information. Moreover, the knowledge development on drones is becoming more urgent, not only for Defence, but also for civil applications.”
