The activities of the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) are surveyed. In the field of aerodynamics research, activities are conducted in the low speed, high speed, supersonic, and Dutch-German wind tunnels, and in the laboratory for propulsion aerodynamics and aeroacoustics. In the domain of aircraft and helicopters, flight tests are performed, and research is conducted on two laboratory aircraft, a flight simulator, and an air traffic simulator. In the construction and materials division loading and fatigue of aircraft structures, as well as new materials, are investigated. In the field of astronautics, satellite positioning; microgravity; automation and robotics; temperature control; and Earth observation are studied. Information systems for aerospace applications are developed. Aerospace pollution and environmental control by aircrafts and satellites are investigated.
