PTDI has composite manufacturing capability already as they are part of supplier for Boeing and also Airbus planes. So the composite manufacturing facility for IFX look like will produce different kind of composite components. More likely to produce components from Stealthy raw material (RAM)...
Our version doesnt have much different with KF 21 for Korean Airforce, just recently the program manager said IFX will use similar boom system as well for refueling ( contrary to previous plan), so it will reduce the complexity of the program.
Giving 1 prototype to PTDI means PTDI has been...
Nope, only 1 prototype for PTDI (inshaAllah). This is exclusive belongs to PTDI for their fighter development program, of course it will likely be part of testing as well related to current KF21/IFX program. All the testing data will be shared to each other (Korea and Indonesia).
Production...
Just add new development though, the prototype for Indonesia will be made in Korea. We dont have facility yet to produce composite material for KF21 prototype, we just send the aluminium based components for several KF21 prototypes. I also think we are not ready to make a complete plane in DI...
So based on current plan, they will use boom, well I dont know about it, never ask about this one to the engineer. But yes it could be made to make the development less complicated
IFX will use probe, while KF21 for Korean will use boom type of air refueling. It is what has been stated based on the plan. You can try to google to find article about it.
The latest order is quite match with these presentation. T 50 Golden Eagle is ordered at 400 million USD though, 100 million USD more than what has been given by Bappenas (Training Aircraft), so SMI add the figure a bit, maybe due to minimum plane needed to get TOT scheme from KAI.
Well after 5 C 130 Super-Hercules we just ordered, we buy this A 400 M for 2 planes and 4 planes are in pipeline, waiting the financing.
A330 MRTT would be for special mission, beside AWACS plane
This is total approve foreign loan (2020-2024) from Bappenas for Air Force, while we dont know how...
Yes of course, IFX will use similar components, including the critical components. The amount of components produced in Indonesia can potentially be increased if PTDI has the capability to supply more and the demand for KF21 is increasing in the future. Even when PTDI is not part of developer of...
The components for KF21/IFX prototypes that are built in Indonesian Aerospace (PTDI) is for alluminium based components, while for composite we should have made for prototype 5 but currently production facility for composite production is not yet present.
Indonesia Aerospace will produce 50...
100 million USD reduction of IFX program for Indonesia is related to overall reduction on KF21/IFX program cost, so it tells that KF21/IFX program so far is still match with previous financing plan and even they think the cost can be slashed further
Something quite relieving regarding KFX/IFX program is that Sri Mulyani said she will support all priority programs, including investment program for SOE that gets assignment from government in strategic projects where we know that KFX/IFX program has become a priority program based on Perpres...
