my friend...
If your basic is engineering.... you will understand that technically steam turbine is far different than gas turbine, particularly for military use...
Indonesia still way long to produce military turbine. We dont even have a clear roadmap or program to produce turbine for civilian aircraft. Currently only US, France, UK, German, Russia and Japan can produce their own engine.
What do we need is made a cooperation with Turkey to run Turbine program for military use, so we can use it also for our IFX. But this offcourse require an assistant from Prat Whitney, General Electric, Roll Royce or MTU Aero Engine
I know that already bro, I just said that " the potential company to produce aircraft engine", I didnt say that it has already had the capability to design and make a turbojet or turbofan. PT Nusantara Turbine itself is a subsidiary of PT Dirgantara Indonesia (aircraft maker), so it is not some thing that comes from nowhere. It has the capability to overhaul military aircraft engine as well as for civilian aircraft one, beside producing industrial turbine. It is part of a big plan. One of former PT Dirgantara also said that to me. Of course we need cooperation with western/ Russian/ Japanese company to make jet engine. What is in my mind is that we can licensed built the engine for IFX first, and if we can do it, it will be a huge leap.
Talking about turbojet and turbofan development in Indonesia, it is currently being developed through our cruise missile program. So start from that first, and we also already have industrial infrastructure for mass producing it.
