CN-235 Military Aircraft
Continue this momentum must be maintained and enhanced as the pride of their own technological capabilities. Do not let this dijegal Indonesian engineers work precisely by the Indonesian people themselves, (usually) the government economists who often considers itself the nation's work as too expensive and a waste of money just for research. This is the real enemy. Beware fellow Indonesian engineer.
RX-420 rocket
Although already lasted 2 weeks ago, the launch rocket Lapan RX-420 was still a byword. Strangely not so talked about in Indonesia who prefer stories Presidential Election, but in Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia.
As is known rocket RX-420 uses a propellant that can give greater impetus to reach 4 times the speed of sound. It made the home range to 100 km. It could even reach 190 km when the structure of the rocket can be made lighter. Which have high added value is 100% the work of the nation, the engineers Indonesia. Similarly, all components of ballistic rockets and developed its own control in the country, including software. Only the microprocessor subsystem components that are imported.
Budget spent to launch even a "mere" $ 1 billion. Lose much with the corrupted members of Parliament for the traveler, check winning Miranda Gultom as BI senior deputy governor who is more than Rp 50 billion, especially when compared to the corruption BLBI more than Rp 700 trillion.
Why instead became a byword in Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia?
Since the successful launch of this rocket Indonesia in the future will bring Indonesia to promote and deliver the Indonesian satellite named "Nano Satellite" as far as 3600 km into the sky. Indonesian satellite was later will be at an altitude of 300 km and the speed of 7.8 km per second. When this is accomplished Indonesia will be a country that can fly its own satellites with a homemade product. Indonesia thus will enter the member "Asian Satellite Club" along with China, North Korea, India, and Iran.
Well worry Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia this makes sense, right? If Indonesia is able to push the satellite up to 3600 km for peaceful purposes or purposes of all kinds depending on the agreement of the Indonesian people. Then automatically mock job for Indonesia to be able to launch the rocket as far as 190 km for military purposes would be very threatening them now too as well. That myth is the enemy of the north, namely Indonesia it was not just a myth, but it is a real threat in the future.
CN-235 Military Versio
nApparently Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia have long witnessed the greatness of Indonesian engineers. The proof? Not only are daunted by the RX-420 rocket Lapan, but they are now looking at further development of the CN-235 military version made by PT. IN. Also look at the development of PT. PAL is already ready and able to make a submarine origin can fully trust and support from government funds.
CN-235 is a medium-range transport aircraft with a two-engine turbo-prop. The plane was developed jointly between CASA in Spain and IPTN (now PT Dirgantara Indonesia) as a regional aircraft and military transport. CN-235 military version including maritime patrol, surveillance and troop transport.
CN-235 was launched as a partnership between CASA and IPTN. Both companies are forming a company to run the company Airtech CN-235 production program. Design and production divided equally between the two companies. Cooperation is only done on version 10 and 100/110. The next versions dikembangankan separately by each company.
CN-235 initial design began in January 1980, aircraft purnarupa premiere on November 11, 1983. Spanish and Indonesian certification obtained on June 20, 1986. The first production aircraft flew on 19 August 1986. FAA type approval obtained on 3 Desemebr 1986 before finally flying to the buyer's first flight on March 1, 1988.
In 1995, CASA CN-235 launches an extended, C-295United States Coast Guard / U.S. Coast Guard to buy the CN-235 (coded HC-144A) under the medium-range maritime aircraft program (MRSMPA).The first HC-144A aircraft EADS CASA delivered to Lockheed Martin to install the tools for the maritime mission in December 2006.In August 2006, 3 CASA CN-235-10 was still flying, two with Safair and one Tiko Air, both of them in Africa.Asian Spirit also operates CN-235-220 in the Philippines (information in June / July 2007).Irish Air Corps operates two two CN-235 maritime patrol.
CN-235 Variant
* CN-235-10: An earlier version of production (15 made by each company), with GE CT7-7A engines.
* CN-235-100/110: Basically a series of 10, but using the GE CT7-9C engine nacelles and composite; replace the Series 10 in the year 1988 since production to 31. Series 100 is made in Spain, the 110 series is made in Indonesia, with environmental systems, warning, and a better electrical.
* CN-235-200/220: Version improved. Strengthening the structure to accommodate heavier operating weights, a better aerodynamics at the wing leading-edges and rudder, the shorter runway and increase the flight range with maximum load. Series 200 is made in Spain, the Series 220 is made in Indonesia.
* CN-235-300: Modified Series 200/220 by CASA using the Honeywell Avionics. Other changes include the air pressure in aircraft is a better and provide space for two nosewheel.
* CN-235-330 Phoenix: Modified Series 200/220 by IPTN using the ARL-2002 Honeywell Avionics EW and kg/37.037 16,800 lb MTOW. The aircraft is designed to meet the needs of Project Air 5190 tactical transport aircraft for the Royal Australian Air Force. Program-CN 235-330 canceled in 1998 due to financial problems.
* CN-235 MPA: maritime patrol version
Domestic dispute
If the economists Indonesia lackeys World Bank and IMF call planes made by PT. DI is too expensive and suck up too much investment ("only" Rp 30 trillion for the total infrastructure, human resources, etc.) and just finished his toys BJ Habibie. But why South Korea and Turkey admired him half to death? Turkey and South Korea are loyal users, especially the CN-235 military version as the best in its class. Innovation 40 Indonesian engineers on CN-
235 military version is the addition of complete weapons such as missiles and radar technology that can detect and disable submarines. So if escorting Ambalat just enough plus one CN-235 military version (in addition to the fleet of the Navy and Marine forces that exist) to drive the submarines and other warships from the waters of Indonesia.Well, so the enemy that actually exist in Indonesia itself. Namely character Indonesian people who do not want to see people of Indonesia itself successfully. Indonesia Works engineers are good at making Indonesia self defense equipment was told people, especially economists pro-United States and Europe: "Mending buy direct from the United States and Europe because of its lower price." They did not think ahead how Indonesia will continue to depend on the technology, Indonesia will be a consumer only pay for very expensive technologies with continuously until the apocalypse arrives.
If there is a shortage that occurred with the industrial work of the nation itself, should be judged more fairly and promptly corrected together. For example, marketing experts or scholars of economics should be included in team work. So the engineers were not just clever production of an aircraft, but at least know how to sell a plane that is different from selling a Honda Jazz. If there are constraints in the procurement of Export Credit as a form of payment, please be resolved and supported by the banking world, for selling the product itself can be optimal because it will be attractive to potential foreign buyers who can not pay cash.
