it looks similar to Regio-prop R-80, a private venture from habibie's sonPT DI to launch its newest CN-245 next year
State-owned aircraft manufacturer PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI) is set to launch its newest CN-245 plane next year.
The company is still in the process of designing the plane, which is the derivative of CN-235 plane, PT DI President Director Budi Santoso said here on Tuesday.
"It is still being designed. God willing, we will start (producing it). It is the derivative of CN-235 plane. Hence, it is not a new plane because 80 percent of its components are same as those of CN-235 and 295. We hope it can fly in 2018," he added.
Budi stated that the manufacture of CN-245 could be completed in 2018 because it was not as difficult as that of CN-219.
"(The components of) N-219 are all new. For CN-245, we will just produce its tail, while the other components are the same. Likewise, its certificate is also the same as that of CN-235," he remarked.
He pointed out that the company was in the process of applying for a certificate for CN-245 by cooperating with an aircraft manufacturer based in Toulouse, France.
"If we are to certify our product with EASA or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) by directly applying for it, then we would get the last turn," he added.
Airbus has expressed its support for the production of CN-245 because it would complement to its previous series, VN-235 and CN-295, he stated.
"God willing, the (certification) process will run quickly because it is not a new plane and nearly 80 percent of its components are already in place," he pointed out.
"The idea and design of CN-245 are purely that of Indonesians," he said.
CN-245 is a light plane developed with a capacity of carrying 30-50 people, he added.

New Recruit
SIGMA-PKR (modified for OPV (90/91m))
here's my attempt to modify the existing sigma pkr design
This is my personal point of view about the OPV requirement for the navy. I chose sigma 10514 bridge superstructure because it has the tallest profile among the sigma combatant series, so I expect more panoramic view from it, and why using sigma combatant hull ? because we acquired the sigma technology, based on that scenario, I decided to recreate the depth detail of it into a 3D model
*SP requirement anti-ship missile
ignoring hull costs and hull efficiency, so basically what I'm doing is ...
1. I took unmodified-hull module 2 (fore-bow)
2. I took unmodified-hull module 1 (stern)
3. I trim hull module 3 to +- (14.0 m) in order to make its total length = 90m , I think it possible to do that in reality as can be seen in this concept
4. I took some of DAMEN-OPV 1400 design as preference for hangar,upstakes etc modification since its has more compact design
5. DAMEN multi-mission bay
using module-1 hull > assuming the existing module 1 design can be modified into multi mission bay. I dont know exact dimension for the multi mission bay but, I designed it to carry (2x) 20 ft type dry containers in both port (aft) coloumn and starboard (aft) coloumn and RHIB (+-9,5 m) rapid launcher in the middle (for SF/Covert mission configuration)

*sorry if the weapon and sensors are not correctly compatible each other since I couldnt find the best model of it
*sorry for over-crowded and tight space for (davit) RHIB placement since I forgot that I'm using sigma combatant hull, I think it not just possible to make an opening in between the hull as the way OPV hulls are
* the thing that still bugged me is how the container elevator works with that lorry railing system, in that multi mission module, whether using scissor elevator or maybe the ones like in the carrier or somethin', it just beyond my imagination ...
*hull,superstructure creation and its modification were done by me (model is virtually not perfectly accurate both dimension and form)
*weapon, sensor and its small detail were taken from sketchup repository (c) original modellers
feel free to correct the exact measurement or method to measure those module if it wrong, since I'm still novice and pls dont take my post seriously, I'm doing it just for fun xD
