How to Contact DNW and Find Its Facilities and Media Resources

Updated

DNW (German-Dutch Wind Tunnels) provides three main routes on its official site at dnw.aero: a Contact page for direct inquiries, a map for locating its wind tunnel facilities, and a Media Center for news and press material. The site also links to sections on About DNW, Services, Wind Tunnels, News, and Careers. Use the Contact page for business or testing inquiries, the map when you need to know which location hosts a specific tunnel, and the Media Center if you need press or background material.

Contacting DNW

The site's footer includes a Contact link, which is the intended entry point for reaching the organization. The homepage also carries a "get in touch" prompt that leads to the same contact route.

DNW is a non-profit foundation under Dutch law, established by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR), with headquarters in Marknesse, the Netherlands. If your inquiry concerns a specific facility or test campaign, it helps to name the tunnel or location in your message — see the facility list below.

Finding DNW's Wind Tunnel Facilities

DNW operates wind tunnels across four locations in the Netherlands and Germany. The site offers a map view ("find our facilities on map") alongside a location list:

Location Country Tunnels listed
Amsterdam Netherlands HST, SST
Braunschweig Germany NWB
Göttingen Germany TWG
Marknesse Netherlands LLF, LST

Note that the site's own text is inconsistent on the total count: the description and "What We Do" section refer to six wind tunnels, while the site description mentions eleven. The location list above accounts for six named tunnels. If the exact facility count matters for your decision, confirm it through the Contact page rather than relying on the summary text.

The tunnels span subsonic, transonic, and supersonic capabilities, and DNW describes its application areas as simulation, noise, propulsion integration, and in-ground effect.

Using the Media Center and News

The Media Center is the site's section for media resources. For recent activity and reference material, the News section carries announcements, including:

  • Open Day, 20 June 2026 — DNW reported welcoming more than 1,500 visitors.
  • 50 years of innovation — DNW marked its 50th anniversary on 18 June 2026, covering research across aerospace, automotive, and sports.
  • Helicopter rotor test in the DNW-LLF (6 Feb 2026) — an experimental campaign on a helicopter rotor system with active blade twisting, which DNW says gained international attention.

These items are useful if you need citable examples of DNW's testing work or context for a partnership inquiry.

Other Site Sections Worth Knowing

The main navigation covers About DNW, Services, Wind Tunnels, News, Careers, and Media Center, plus Quality and a Privacy Policy and Disclaimer page. If you are evaluating DNW as a testing partner, the Services and Wind Tunnels sections are the natural starting points; if you are job-seeking, use Careers.

The site does not publish pricing or booking details in the material available here, so cost, scheduling, and access conditions should be raised directly through the Contact page.
