Indonesia, Iran considering cooperation in development of aircraft industry

Economy

October 1, 2016






Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia and the Islamic Republic of Iran are studying possibility of cooperation in the development of civil aircraft industry as currently Iran needs to renew a large number of its aircraft for civil aviation service.

The Policy Study and Development Body (BPPK) of the Foreign Ministry said here on Friday, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) could study cooperation with the Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company (HESA).
The cooperation possibility was an important point in the economic discussion during the visit of an Iranian government delegation to the state-owned aircraft factory PTDI in Bandung on Thursday.
The visit by the Iranian delegation is part of the activities of 5th "Policy Research Consultation" (PRC) of Indonesia-Iran, between BPPK and the Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS), a think tank of the Iranian Foreign Ministry held by Asia Africa Museum in Bandung.
The Iranian delegates included Iranian Ambassador to Indonesia Valiollah Mohammadi and Vice President of IPIS Rasoul Mousavi.
PRC is an annual activity of BPPK and IPIS to exchange views and information about position and foreign policy of the two countries - bilaterally, regionally and internationally.
BPPK said after the implementation of "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action" (JCPOA) on 16 January 2016, followed with the lifting of international economic sanction on Iran, that country needs many units of aircraft for civil aviation.
The lifting of the economic sanctions on Iran opened an opportunity for Indonesia to develop closer cooperation with Iran, an oil rich country with a population of 80 million.
Large purchase of aircraft by Iran has been widely reported by international mass media. Iran was reported signing a contract for the purchase of 100 units of Boeing air craft at a price of $17 billion in September 2016, and 118 units of Airbus aircraft valued at $25 billion in January, 2016.
The U.S. finance ministry allowed the purchases by phases.
Iran also is studying purchase of aircraft from the Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer.
Technology and Development Director of PTDI, Andi Alisjahbana, said PTDI, which already has international reputation as an aircraft maker has a big opportunity to sell aircraft to Iran.
Propeller aircraft products of PTDI are suitable for domestic flights, Andi said.
So far, PTDI has exported aircraft to various countries including Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, South Korea, Pakistan, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Burkina Faso, Senegal, and Venezuela.

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG -- Aircrafts manufactured by the national aerospace company, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI), are meeting the needs of the domestic market, especially when it comes to strengthening the country's defenses. This was said by the President Director of PTDI, Budi Santoso.

In a special interview with Antara in Bandung, West Java on Tuesday, Budi said the PTDI is currently working on a number of aircraft production projects, including helicopters ordered by institutions in Indonesia and elsewhere. He explained that PTDI has completed work on CN235 and CN212 units ordered by the Indonesian Air Force and Navy.

Currently, the national aerospace company founded in 1976 under the name of PT. Industri Pesawat Terbang Nurtanio (IPTN) is updating aerodynamic and avionics technologies of CN235 and CN212. "The PTDI's production is particularly addressed to strengthen the national defense system," Budi noted, adding that when it comes to the armament, the PTDI cooperates with the national military weapons manufacturing company, PT. Pindad.

Apart from meeting the domestic orders, the PTDI is also manufacturing CN235 ordered by Thailand and Senegal, as well as CN212 ordered by the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The CN235 is a multipurpose aircraft with STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) technology that allows it to take off and land on short runways (800 meters) and rough surface.

Its ramp door makes loading and unloading cargoes or troops easy, and, therefore, it can be used as a military aircraft or a means of civil transport. Among the PTDI's aircrafts delivered to the customers in the country were seven units of CN235 military transport version, five units of CN235 civil transport version and two units of NC212.

Additionally, one unit of CN235 civilian transport has also been sent to Venezuela and two units have been delivered to Thailand. Meanwhile, two units of the military transport version have been delivered to Burkina Faso, six units to the United Arab Emirates, seven units to South Korea and six units to Malaysia.

Indonesian Aviation Industry Developing Nicely: Minister
Zoom Out Zoom In Normal
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Industry Minister Airlangga Hartanto said Indonesia’s aviation industry continues to develop and grow significantly, citing increasing air traffic of both passenger and cargo.

“The growth of domestic passengers has increased at an average of 15 percent per annum in the past ten years. Whereas the number of international passenger has risen by around 8 percent. In addition, Indonesia is the world’s third largest country in Asia in terms of aircraft purchase behind China and India,” Airlangga said in a press release on Wednesday.

Airlangga said that Indonesia also has the infrastructure to develop aviation industry. The National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) and state-owned aerospace company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI) are developing N219 aircraft, which will be followed by the development of N245 and N270 aircrafts.

“PT DI has manufactured propeller-driven aircrafts and choppers in cooperation with Bell Helicopter and Eurocopter,” Airlangga said. Private aircraft company PT Region Aviasi Industri is also working on R80 aircraft with a capacity of 80 passengers, initiated by former Indonesian president B.J. Habibie.

Director General of Metal, Machinery, Mode of Transport and Electronics Industries, the Industry Ministry, I Gusti Putu Suryawirawan said the ministry continues to push for aviation industry economic self-reliance. The Industry Ministry has initiated the establishment of Indonesia Aircraft and Component Manufacturer Association (INACOM).

On the other hand, according to Putu, Indonesia’s maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) industry has considerable potential, reaching US$1 billion as of 2014. The figure is expected to rise to US$2 billion by 2019.

Indonesia Restarts N219 Aircraft Production To Serve Routes To Isolated Areas

03:21 PM, October 19, 2016

The Indonesian National Aviation and Outer Space Institute (LAPAN) said small N219 aircraft would be produced next year to serve routes to isolated areas that could not be served by big aircraft in Indonesia.

"The design has been available. The target is that production of N219, a 19-seat aircraft would begin in 2017," head of LAPAN Prof Thomas Djamaluddin was quoted as saying by Indonesian Aerospace at a seminar, "International Seminar on Aerospace Science and Technology" (ISAST) in the tourist resort of Senggigi, regency of West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB)

Earlier during the administration of President Soeharto, the country planned to produce 50-seat N250 aircraft, to serve flights to isolated areas.

However, the plan failed to come to reality as a result of the economic crisis in 1998 and the downfall later of the president, Thomas Djamaluddin said here on Tuesday.

In addition, producers of big bodied aircraft refused to support the Indonesian program fearing that small aircraft would be potential competitor for their products, hee said.

LAPAN, therefore, is asked again to design aircraft to serve routes to open isolated areas and the result is the N219 type.

"The plan to produce N219 is facing less competition, although there was still competition from other countries. We, however, are set to start production in 2017 that Indonesia could win the domestic market before competitors are coming," he said.

The N219 aircraft is a product of collaboration, first between LAPAN and PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI) and second collaboration between the two agencies was that LAPAN helped in making the design and PT DI, the aircraft maker in Bandung, would do the production.

Djamaluddin said N219 is designed for domestic use but he did not rule out exporting the aircraft to other countries as a number of countries like Laos and African countries have expressed interest in the aircraft after they were given details of the plan by Indonesian embassies.

"In the country, there are already airlines planning to use N219 aircraft to serve flights to isolated areas, which have no airport large enough to accommodate big bodied aircraft," he said.

Aerospace fulcrum and RI’s defense industry

• Connie Rahakundini Bakrie
  
  

Jakarta | Tue, November 1 2016 | 09:00 am


Since his inauguration, President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has proclaimed a new paradigm of Indonesia as a “world maritime axis”. This vision, in fact, also moves Indonesia into the role of a global aerospace fulcrum, because the paradigm affects not only the Navy, but also the Air Force, which must shoulder increasingly complex and daunting responsibilities.

The uphill challenges concern primarily the movement of troops and logistics, given that 21st century global politics have made Asia a pivot and transformed Indonesia’s waters and airspace into a primary lane of world trade, resources and military movement.

To turn the maritime axis concept into reality, the Indonesian Air Force should at least achieve a level of readiness, which includes technical skills, tactics, detection devices as well as the modernization of aircraft weaponry.

Achieving capability and readiness targets is closely connected to self-reliance in the national defense industry, as mandated by Law No. 16/2012 on the Defense Industry, which stipulates state control over the manufacture, maintenance and procurement of primary weaponry systems.

It is fair to say, therefore, that the national aerospace defense industry should fulfill the needs of the Air Force in supporting its military operations.

Some constraints and bad habits stand in the way of reaching that goal, and they cannot be tolerated. A case in point was when the Air Force in 2004 conducted a study for a fixed wing propeller aircraft to match the performance of the C130 Hercules. The choice fell on the Spartan C27 J, but the Air Force instead acquired the CN 295, which was produced by state-owned aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI), in the name of buying the national product.

There is also a problem of contract default between PT DI and the Air Force.

As of 2016, the former has delivered only seven of 16 Super Puma helicopters ordered by the latter in 1996.

We must also question PT DI’s fierce resistance against the planned procurement of an AugustaWestland 101 (AW-101) as a military transport helicopter despite a thorough study conducted by the Air Force.

PT DI insisted that the Air Force should buy the Puma and Super Puma helicopter from Eurocopter, regardless of a series of accidents that saw European aviation authorities (EASA) issue an order to ground all Puma and Super Puma helicopters produced by the French company.

In fact, a series of accidents involving the Super Puma are obvious.

In May 2012 a Super Puma made an emergency landing at sea due to a damaged lubricating system of its main gearbox.

Previously, Super Puma aircraft crashed in Brunei in 1982, in Norway in 2001, in the UK in 2011 and in Hong Kong in 2013, which led to an investigation and suspension in the use of this type of helicopter.

The latest accident came in April 2016, when a Super Puma H225 LN-OJF crashed in the North Sea Gullfaks after its main rotor failed, killing all people onboard. The crash prompted the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the British Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA) to issue a ban on the H225 variant.

Armed forces in several countries, including Thailand and Malaysia, immediately grounded their Super Puma EC 275 Cougar fleet.

Therefore it makes sense if the Air Force chooses an alternative to the Super Puma. According to Air Force chief of staff Marshal Agus Suhartono, based on the needs and views of the Air Force and after assessing transport and operations, technology specifications and modernization needs, the performance and specifications of the AW-101 suit the requirements of the Air Force today and in the future.

Diversification is the keyword in context of a strong state being supported by a strong defense industry. It is clearly time for PT DI to improve its performance, because a healthy aviation industry should actually be able to produce aircraft, along with all the tools and spare parts, research, the transfer of technology as well as the system and organization.

Considering the AW-101 helicopter as an alternative is important given the role of PT DI as the driving force of development in the national defense industry.

The closeness of PT DI and Airbus in the last 30 years has apparently caused the state company to overlook the modernization of technology, capability and independence.

The Air Force chief, as a commissioner of PT DI, has unequivocally stated his interpretation of the company’s capability, performance and real conditions, including in the latest case of the N-219 plane, which according to PT DI was in the rollout stage, while in fact it was still only a mock-up. When it comes to “technological transparency”, the public has the right to question PT DI’s accountability for the use of huge state budget funds for research and development to build the plane.

The courage and assertiveness of the Air Force in choosing the AW-101 is something to be appreciated, because the military as the primary user of defense equipment is the most important element of the current government in realizing the aerospace fulcrum policy.

S. Korea, Indonesia to cooperate to sell aircraft globally
2016/11/02 13:30

SEOUL, Nov. 2 (Yonhap) -- Korea Aerospace Industries Co., the country's sole aircraft manufacturer, said Wednesday it had signed an initial agreement with an Indonesian company to sell its products in the global market.

In the 2016 Indo Defence Expo and Forum set to run from Wednesday through Saturday in Jakarta, KAI and PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) agreed to carry out joint marketing to export aircraft in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa, KAI said in a statement.

"The two companies will expand their cooperation in passenger carriers, military aircraft and aerospace businesses," KAI Chief Executive and President Ha Sung-yong said in the statement.

Under the pact, KAI aims to export the KUH-1 Surion utility helicopters to Indonesia as its military is expected to gradually replace the aging fleet of 200 choppers. It will help the PTDI improve its aircraft maintenance capabilities, and the PTDI will help KAI win local projects in aircraft maintenance, repairs and operations, it said.

The two aircraft companies also plan to jointly develop unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and promote their aircraft in global markets through joint marketing, KAI said.

In this photo taken on Sept. 9, 2016, and provided by KAI, a Surion helicopter is about to take off as part of a demonstration during the DX Korea 2016 exhibition in Goyang, just north of Seoul. (Yonhap)

Rugged design for regional development [INDODEF16-D2]
PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Hall D, Stand 039) is showing a model of its latest regional airliner design. The N245 is a derivative of the CN235 utility transport that is being developed as a 54-seat passenger carrier. It is intended to fill the niche between the 19-seat N219, which was developed from the NC212 light transport, and larger airliners.

As with the N219, the N245’s military transport roots provide it with the capability to operate from short, unpaved runways in rugged terrain. Its primary role would be to ferry passengers between outlying areas and regional centres, from where they could join the main air transport network. Most of the sectors would be short, with the N245 optimised to undertake multiple flights before refuelling.

PTDI already has a production line for the CN235, and while much of the N245’s structure remains similar, there are notable changes. The most visually obvious is the adoption of a T-tail, while the cabin would also lose the military aircraft’s rear loading ramp.

The cabin is slightly longer, allowing more seats to be fitted. Power is provided by a pair of turboprops in the 2050kW (2,750shp) class. It has been reported that the Pratt & Whitney PW127 has been selected rather than the General Electric CT7 of the CN235.

With a maximum take-off weight of 18,300kg (40,345 lb), the N245 offers a 5,500kg (12,125 lb) payload. It can take off from a 1,000m (3,280ft) strip and land in 720m (2,362ft). The pressurised cabin permits flight at up to 7,620m (25,000ft). With 54 passengers aboard it has a range of 600nm (1,111km).

The N245 is destined to compete in the same sector as the Bombardier Dash 8-Q300 and ATR 42, PTDI claiming a five per cent reduction in operating costs over the latter, while offering a wider cabin than either. Low cabin noise levels are a design target, and the aircraft is equipped with an advanced ‘glass’ cockpit.
