BPPT Assisted in Floating Engineering for N219 Amphibious Aircraft
The Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT) assists in engineering for floats on the amphibious variant of the N219 aircraft, which is one of BPPT's priority programs in 2021.
"We did design and engineering for the floater for landers in the water," said BPPT's Deputy for Industrial Technology, Design and Engineering (TIRBR), Wahyu Widodo Pandoe, in a press conference for BPPT 2021 Outlook and BPPT 2020 Achievements, Jakarta, Thursday, 21/1/2021, released by Antara.
The amphibious N219 aircraft is one of the 2020-2024 National Research Priorities (PRN). The research priorities are coordinated by the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space.
Regarding the development of the aircraft, BPPT has a role to provide assistance to the Lapan research priority program.
In addition, BPPT will also assist in the search for potential landing sites for the aircraft in Indonesia.
"We are also helping to find ideal locations for landings in Indonesian waters," he said.
Previously, Head of the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (Lapan) Thomas Djamaluddin said the amphibious N219 aircraft was targeted to be able to test flight before 2023.
"The target is that before 2023, the flight test can be tested," said Thomas.
Thomas said the float or float on the seaplane was made of composite material.
The development of the N219 amphibious aircraft is needed for the connectivity of remote islands and specifically for tourist destinations where these areas do not have ground bases.
The N219 seaplane is made to be able to take off both on land and in water.
N-219 aircraft
Aircraft N219, the work of the nation's children which is the result of cooperation between PTDI and LAPAN which has completed the entire series of certification tests and officially obtained a Type Certificate at the end of 2020 given by the competent civil aviation authority in Indonesia, namely the Directorate of Airworthiness and Aircraft Operation / DKPPU, Ministry of Transportation RI.
"The prototype of the first aircraft (Prototype Design 1) Nurtanio has undergone a Flight Cycle of 250 cycles and 275 hours of Flight Hours, while the second prototype aircraft (Prototype Design 2) N219 has undergone a Flight Cycle of 143 cycles and Flight Hours of 176 hours. So that in total the N219 aircraft have completed 393 Flight Cycles and 451 Flight Hours in this certification process, "said Director of Technology and Development of PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) Gita Amperiawan, Monday, 28/12/2020.

Then it is exotic / luxury goods. Same thing when someone imported his mistress from poor Eastern Europe, it will still come as an exotic / luxury goods eech sorry I mean person.
Another example is when I use Rp 250.000 + "kemenyan & jampi2x" to outperform nearly US$ 1000 worth of European made equipments, and still nobody wants to use my solutions
