Well 114 engineers are not handful of course, actually the real number is 116. Developing a plane is not only about the aerodynamics things. I will bring the example of N 219 program, there are engineers in avionics integration, propulsion engineer, aerostructure analyst, certification engineer, flight performance engineer, etc
Something that will be new experience is our flight test pilots. We dont have experience in doing test flight for fighter jet, but 6 test pilots have been prepared, 5 from Air Force who has graduated from Aerospace engineer from best STEM University in Indonesia (ITB), and 1 from Indonesian Aerospace.
If we dont have this project, we are not likely to have any jet fighter program, thus Indonesia Aerospace expertise will be limited into just transport plane and UAV. Getting the program provides valuable experience for all the engineers and also technicians
