Jakarta - PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero) (PTDI) will make the plane Amphibious N219 Version at the end of 2018. The aircraft will be landing on land or water.
The amphibious plane N219 has a body length of 16.74 meters with a height of 6.18 meters. While the aircraft wingspan of 19.50 meters.
The width of the cabin in the plane of 1.80 meters by 1.71 meters high. While the aircraft cabin length of 6.65 meters with a passenger capacity of 19 people.
"This is our next target of small islands in (Indonesia) eastern many tourist places. It could bring tourists to remote islands," explained Director of Production PTDI, Arie Wibowo when contacted detikFinance, Jakarta, Sunday (19/03/2017 ).
If it landed in the waters, N219 relies amphibious landing gear that looks like a boat and floats. Then to continue landing on the ground, the wheels would come out of the landing gear.
"At maximum stay addition, the certification was landing on the runway, we should be landing in the water there are several development and retest the air," says Arie.
This aircraft can carry passengers as many as 19 people. In addition, the aircraft's multi-function can also be used to transport goods or cargo transportation. At least three containers can transport D2 type with dimensions of 1.4 meters x 1.06 meters x 1.14 meters 3 units.
"One can best multi roles," added Arie.
In addition, the N219 amphibious aircraft can also be used for medical transport in remote islands. After transporting the patient, the plane then flew to the hospital in the nearby area.
Some examples of areas that could accommodate aircraft N219 amphibians, among other outer islands in West Papua, small islands around the west coast of Sumatra, small islands around Biak, small islands surrounding Banda Neira, and the islands around the Strait Karimata. (DNA / DNA)

Jakarta - PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero) (PTDI) will make the plane Amphibious N219 Version. This aircraft is the development of air N219 previous series. Air superiority is still maturation phase of this design can land on water and on land.
N219 amphibious aircraft will start the final design 2018, after the plane N219 get a Type Certificate (TC) at the end of 2017. After receiving TC, then PTDI trying to get Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) so that one of the two planes N219 can be developed for landing in the water became N219 amphibians.
"So if we can we certificate TC (N219) its end in 2017, we will start to 2018. (N219) basic first we dapatin then we will try dapatin STC so that the aircraft can be fitted with float," explained Director of Production PTDI, Arie Wibowo when contacted detikFinance, Jakarta, Sunday (03/19/2017).
"We redesign modifications to float," added Arie.
Redesign of the basic N219 N219 done because the terrain amphibious landing in two different fields, namely water and land. Additional designing is done to strengthen the body and wings of the aircraft.
"There is reinforcement in the area of the body and wing landing because its configuration is not he in the water. Yeah, and all sorts of pressure we must recalculate," said Arie.
Arie hope Amphibious N219 Version development could be completed within one year after the redesign at the end of 2018. Thus, each plane N219 and
N219 Amphibious Basic Version can fly in 2019
"We hope that in 2019 the basic aircraft was flying in remote islands and amfibian to enter the islands groundless," said Arie.
If the interest of the domestic market against the seaplane is good, then the PT DI will produce it in large quantities.
"One unit so that the market we immediately make serial production," concludes Pat. (DNA / DNA)
