KAU flight-tests new solar powered drone



King Abdulaziz University (KAU) flight-tested a new Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) powered by solar energy over its campus last week.

The test was attended by Prof Osama S. Tayyeb, KAU President, Prof Adnan Zahed, KAU Vice President for Graduate Studies and Scientific Research, Prof Omer Bafil, Vice President for Projects.

KAU's strong entry to the sophisticated UAV technology was marked with the signing of an agreement with Japan's Tokai University last year.

Can't you read English?

Nah, I was actually pointing my comment on yours. Remember a post "i am amazed this thing made br arabs...great achievement....

and you replied bla bla bla, in support to Uzair's comment. That's why I asked about the odds of "made by arabs" because the East Asians (Japaneses) are practically behind it.

And my next question is, why are so ********? insulted? too many people doubting KSA industrial and R&D capability?

As I expected, you will be bragging about oil technology which actually the U.S scientist working for ARAMCO that doing it, and still not far from oil and chemical products that are mostly used to enlarge oil output from your own land while other people's country sucking it up.
If so, why Arabian Industrial and manufacturing output is so low, that even the world almost didn't notice it? Seriously, without oil, KSA will only be another desert tribesmen.

Expecting me to become insulted? Actually I laughed at you, look at you, flooded by low wage workers so that Indonesian government can throw all the problems to KSA, at least KSA people are no less than savages too so why don't you meet another savages from halfway of the world?

Here I quote you an interesting article

Indonesia to become first Muslim industrial power?

Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim economy, is booming and multinationals are rushing in. Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country hit a record in the first three months of the year, demonstrating a growing appeal to companies seeking to tap its burgeoning middle class. The government said on Monday that foreign investment rose 27.2% in the January-March period from a year earlier to 65.5 trillion rupiah ($6.7 billion).

Investment money gushing into Indonesia as economy booms

Japan was the largest source of FDI into Indonesia in the first quarter, with Japanese auto companies pumping in $1.2 billion. Next were South Korea, with $800 million in investment, and Singapore, with $600 million. The biggest economy in Southeast Asia has grown by more than 6% in four of the past five years, one of the world's strongest growth streaks, thanks to rising consumer demand in the country. Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous nation, with an estimated 251 million people.

Unlike many Asian countries, Indonesia's economy is powered mostly by domestic demand rather than exports. That has softened the impact of the global slowdown and meant more growth for the archipelago as an increasing number of its citizens enter the middle class. McKinsey Global Institute said in last September that rising incomes will add an additional 90 million people to the country's consuming class by 2030, more than any other country except China and India.

And while China and India have far larger economies, investment has slowed or declined. China said last week that foreign direct investment had risen by a mere 1.44% in the first quarter, to $29.9 billion. In India, the figure fell 6.3% to $3.95 billion in the first two months of the year, the most recent data available, according to India’s Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion. Indonesia is catching up fast, so much so economists are suggesting to replace the 'I' of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) with Indonesia.

Indonesian manufacturing activities surge forward at the expense of its neighbors

The phrase was first coined back in 2001 by Jim O'Neill from Goldman Sachs to encompass four fast growing emerging-market countries. But now India is seen as the weakest link, the world's second most populous nation once saw its economy growing at a rate of 9%, but is currently suffering from "policy paralysis", caused by a combination of stalling economic reforms and political haggling. The 2012 Indian GDP growth (5.3%) dropped below that of Indonesia (6.2%) and trailed China (7.8%), an irony considering Indian economists had been in the past several years, predicting an overtaking of China.

India's economy ($1.947 trillion) is still more than 2 times that of Indonesia ($928.3 billion), but it is showing recent signs of stumbling after many years of strong growth, while Indonesia's strengths have made it the darling of international investors. China remains far ahead with an economy worth $8.2 trillion. The three made up 69% of the total population in Asia.

When Marcos A. Purty arrived in 2011 as the chief of General Motors' Indonesian operations, he found a mothballed auto plant and decided to spend $150 million to reconstruct and expand the factory. Today, that plant is humming. About 700 people work in the plant, 16 miles east of Jakarta, compared with a mere 30 just 18 months ago. And next month, the American automaker will start delivering its first Indonesian-built vehicle in years, the Chevrolet Spin.

The Indonesian economy outperforms even India, a member of the BRIC

Auto sales are surging in Indonesia, up 17.8% in the first quarter from a year earlier, rewarding GM for the investment it recently made in the country. Other big multinational companies are also racing to invest in factories and other operations to cash in the rising consumer demand, even though concerns about an unpredictable regulatory environment, a high level of corruption, inadequate infrastructure and rising labor costs exist. Cosmetics giant L'Oreal opened its biggest factory in the world in West Java Province last year.

Indonesia has been on a roll since it emerged virtually untouched from the 2008 financial crisis. In 2009, it joined the G20, Group of 20 large economies. It won its first investment-grade credit ratings in more than a decade in late 2011 and early 2012, and its gross domestic product has expanded at a steady rate of more than 6% for the last three years. While overseas capital has long flowed into the resource-rich country's mining, oil and natural gas sectors, many of today's new foreign investors are focusing on the Indonesian consumer.

A decade ago, the last of Subway's 10 franchised restaurants in Indonesia were closed, but now the group is returning, said Stefan Grbovac, an area development manager for Subway in Singapore. He declined to provide details on local franchise partners or future store openings but he said the decision to come back to the country had been easy. "Just look at this country - all of our competitors are here," Mr. Grbovac said, including American franchises like Burger King, KFC and McDonald’s. "We’re definitely coming back."

Indonesia's expanding middle class is spurring rapid economic growth

Still, the challenges for foreign investors trying to do business in Indonesia are formidable. It can take 80 days to get a business license. In a global survey of the ease of doing business compiled by the World Bank, Indonesia ranked 128 out of 185 economies this year, a drop of 13 places from 2010. Transparency International ranked Indonesia 118 out of 176 countries in its most recent corruption perception index.

"Indonesia is punching below its weight as a big country due to certain factors," said Andrew White, the managing director at the American Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia. "Indonesia is growing by 6%, but it should be growing by 10%." Corruption and regulatory restrictions may have shaved off 4% of Indonesian growth. " But even though investors have to deal with the problems of bureaucracy and infrastructure, the returns are higher than if you invest in Europe and the U.S. now."

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono says the country is an example of how a Muslim state could thrive with democracy and secularism. "We have become a solid democracy with three periodic elections in 1999, 2004 and 2009, while at the same time attaining high economic growth around 6%," Yudhoyono said. "Thus we have demonstrated that democracy and economic growth can be mutually reinforcing."


Indonesian stock markets have surpassed Malaysia to be the 2nd largest in the region after Singapore

The President also tackled the global perception that Islam and democracy could not work together, saying that he believed Indonesia itself is a model to highlight how democracy, modernization and Islam worked hand in hand. "Muslims in Indonesia are very comfortable with democracy and with modernity. We are different from the Arab world," Yudhoyono said. Indonesia is a secular state who recognizes Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism as its 6 official religions. Muslims in Indonesia are free to convert to other religions.

Yudhoyono admitted that there are circumstances of religious violence in Indonesia, "Indonesia is one of the most ethnically diverse nations in the world, and some predicted that the next 'Balkan' would be in Indonesia," he said. "But I am pleased that the strengthening of our democracy has brought about numerous positive impacts."

The country has over 300 ethnic groups and there are no majority race in Indonesia. The largest of them is the Javanese who make up 42% of the total population and the Sundanese who account for 16%. The rest, such as the Malays, Madurese, Batak, Bugis, Chinese, Minangkabau, Balinese, Acehnese, are all below 4%. In term of religious faiths, around 90% of Indonesians practice Islam, with most of Eastern Indonesia Christian, the island of Bali Hindu, and the areas near Singapore Buddhist.

7abibi, let us not generalize all Indonesians just because of this one individual who does not represent any Indonesian other than himself. We Arabs have a long-standing relationship with Indonesians since we gave them Islam and culture and they stopped being Pagans. We traded with them for a long time and their conversion was largely peaceful. Millions of Indonesians even have Arab or partial Arab ancestry. 90 % of all Indonesians follow Sunni Islam of the Shafi'i fiqh due to it being mainly Hejazis and Hadrami Yemenis who traded/settled and gave Islam to the Indonesians. In hindsight we also got Indonesian influences mainly through the cuisine and spices.

Let him believe what he wants and let him live in ignorance. He can hate Arabs all he likes. That should not concern us the slightest. He can also hate Islam too. His life not ours.

Indonesians are really good people and my experiences with them has been good.

His comments cry of ignorance but don't worry about that. His loose. At least thousands of his countrymen are good citizens in our country and in the Arab world overall.
