JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Prototype of the third plane created by President BJ Habibie are called Regio Prop 80 (R80) is targeted to be made in mid-2016, said Commissioner of PT Regio Aviation Industries (RAI) Ilham Habibie.

"We hope that in the middle of next year the design will already completed so that in the middle of next year we have started to make the prototype. There is still a long time in terms of design," Ilham said in Jakarta, Wednesday (07/29/2015).

He says the company is still in the early stages of design creation of the R80, which is in the process of selecting key components such as engines and aircraft control systems.

R80 were previously targeted to start flying in 2019, but due to technical problems, Ilham expects the new aircraft to be ready by 2021.

For now, he said, there are three airlines that ordered the plane that has reached a total of 145 units, namely from Kalstar Indonesia, Nam Water and Water Trigana.

Meanwhile, for the aircraft engines, he said, PT RAI will selects from the three companies, namely the British Rolls Royce, Pratt and Whitney from the United States, as well as General Electric of the United States.

R80 aircraft, according to him, has several advantages over other aircraft, including a much larger size and greater fuel mileage

"I saw that 30-50 percent of operating costs of an aircraft are related to fuel, so the engine is crucial. Another advancement in this plane are also aerodynamics, cabin comfort, it uses more advanced material, but most importantly 10-15 percent more efficient than an ATR aircraft," he said.

With these advantages, Ilham said it is still not yet decided what the estimated price for the R80 because the engine and components to have yet to be decided. However, he estimates that the price will be at 22 to 25 million US dollars per unit.

R80 is the successor of N250 aircraft made by IPTN now called PT Dirgantara Indonesia. While PT RAI which develops R80 is a manufacturer of commercial aircraft belonging to BJ Habibie.

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG -- Governor of West Java Ahmad Heryawan and President Director of PT Ilthabi Rekatama Ilham Habibie signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a factory to assemble the R80 aircraft.

The MoU was signed by Heryawan, a major shareholder of PT Bandara Internasional Jawa Barat (BIJB), and Habibie, son of former Indonesian president B. J. Habibie, at the latter's residence in Jakarta on Thursday, August 6, night.

According to a press release issued by the West Java administration's Public Relations Division on Friday, the MoU also covers the development of BIJB in Kertajati village in Majalengka district, West Java.

The West Java International Airport, which will be built by PT BIJB, will be the largest air gateway to West Java, to replace Husein Sastranegara Airport in Bandung.
Moreover, Heryawan refused to comment on the signing of the MoU.

"On behalf of the provincial government, I am only a major shareholder," he stated, adding that he hoped the president director of BIJB, Virda Dimas Ekaputra, would elaborate on the MoU.

Ekaputra said that his side, along with the government of West Java, will hold discussions on the aircraft assembling factory and also prepare a plot of land for the purpose.

The R80 is a turboprop aircraft, expected to be ready for use by 2021. Its competitor is the French-Italy-made ATR 72-600.

It is believed that the R80 is 10 to 15 percent more fuel-efficient than the ATR 72-600. This model was designed and developed by B. J. Habibie and his son Ilham Habibie.

Of course the design is made by many designer expert, some of them are Indonesian who have worked in Boeing and dont forget that some design made in previous PT Dirgantara plane (N-250) is also used, and the design work is still going on until now. That journalist who made the report is really a naif one....:D

According to Ilham habibie, they don't use any design, or part of the design of N-250. They start from a clean sheet. Ilham have his own design team, small one, only a few engineers. And their design is actually only in early stage. They just made the visual design, and research their design using wind tunnel and other BPPT and Lapan facilities.

They still haven't started to work on the detail design and hasn't decided to choose all the hundred of thousand parts that will be use in their design (R-80).

It needs about 600 engineers to make R-80 aircraft in which PT RAI will get most of them from PT Dirgantara Indonesia. R-80 project is a work collaboration between a private company lead by Ilham Habibie with a state owned company, PT Dirgantara Indonesia, and also some help from LAPAN/BPPT as government agency in technology research. Estimated investment on the project is 700 million USD. The design work will be conducted by 100 % Indonesian engineers just like N-219 project that is also currently underway.
 
N-219 to be Rolled Out at October 28th
Created on Monday, 14 September 2015 05:49

28 oktober later, it could be a great day for PT. Dirgantara Indonesia. If nothing goes wrong, coinciding with the oath of youth day, n-219 aircraft will be displayed to the public.


N219%201.JPG


Currently workmanship n-219 prototype aircraft has reached more than 50%. Totaly in future PT Dirgantara Indonesia will produce 4 pieces prototype: 2 prototype for the flight test, while the other 2 for the static test, and aircraft structures test. This exam to obtain certification from the ministry of transportation before the N-219 entering the mass production period.

N-219 itself is a light aircraft with a capacity of 19 passengers. This aircraft is suitable for pioneer's aviation since it has the ability to fly and land on short runways and grassy (to interconnecting 17.000 islands in Indonesia). Besides, the N-219 is designed to be capable of operating for 20 to 30 years.

Some of the products

Various simulators for aircraft and combat vehicles are produced by PT Technology and Engineering Simulation (TES). One that is quite interesting is a simulator that can be used for several types of combat vehicles.

The type of this simulator is the order of the Education Center Cavalry Army. Unlike simulators in general where one simulator is for one type of tool, Multiranpur simulators can be replaceable (program).

"We are building Multiranpur, 3-year project hopefully will be completed this year. It is quite unique, to save as replaceable 3 types of tanks," said President Director of PT TES Muhammad Mulia Tirtosudiro in office, Mekar Wangi village, Lembang , West Bandung, West Java, on Thursday (04/09/2015).

Multiranpur can be changed to the cabin simulator Scorpion tanks, tank Stormer and AMX tanks. Looking ahead, TES will develop to make the main cabin Leopard battle tank.

With such efficiency, means that the government can save considerable cost. The reason for the creation of the simulator is not fairly cheap price.

"The simulator is designed to operate for 20 years. The price is approaching the price of the aircraft, depending on the configuration. If the world over defense equipment purchased price it costs. If we are almost close to the original," explains Business Development Manager of TES, Muhammad Iqbal Tirtusudiro in the same location.

Multiranpur Simulator is the only simulator in the world that could be changed for some type of combat vehicle. Iqbal was the artificial TES simulators can compete with foreign-made products, especially the staff of PT TES itself is still young and has a lot of potential.

"Actually, they can compete like in the simulator accuracy and simulator packet data. In the world there are many source so it does not have to rely on just one source ( country). It can be done because of regular cooperation between the companies. The principle that we want is to maintain technical competence. Keep what goods, if our program can make it. Clearly if the government want to make it, we will be very happy, "said Iqbal.

"We are good at simulation software. So if we want to use the module so Korea, we can, depending on the agreement. We are 90 percent locally made. Software, mathematical models, the connection between software, visual database are all local made. It can and are ready to compete," continued the ITB (Bandung Institut of technology) graduates.

Multirampur Simulator built in Padalarang Cavalry Education Center, Bandung, in 3 stages. The first stage is for the Scorpion, the second stage for Stormer, and which is currently in the process of completion are cabins for AMX tank.

This simulator designer turns come directly from the Army Research and Development Center. In manufacturing, PT TES takes 4 years in which a special year to make the concept. Taiwan is said as being negotiated for the manufacture of this Multiranpur simulator.

"Yes is being negotiated. Perhaps the concept is the same, but the visual is difference. Due to be distinguished for the same country outside," said Business Development PT TES, Gerald S Manurung added.

A number of simulators have been developed by this company. Like Hawk simulators for Malaysia and Indonesian Air Force, CN-235 simulators for Malaysia, tank simulator for ACV 300 (5 pieces) for Malaysia. Simulator for other Indonesian Air Force that has been made by PT TES are simulators for Hawk fighter, Super Puma helicopter, and Bell 412 helicopter.

Projects which are still under development is Multiranpur, F-16 simulator, and anti warships flight simulator for the (Indonesian) Navy. PT TES is also exploring local content for the manufacture of Sukhoi simulator.

"Actually, the most important in the manufacture of the simulator is to make the model or the software to be able to actually represent such defense equipment," added Gerald.
