Ilham mengatakan, kedirgantaraan bukan sekadar industri tetapi ujung tombak strategi industrialisasi Indonesia. "Industri kedirgantaraan bukan hanya sebuah industri, diambil sebagian ujung tombak daripada strategi industrialisasi negara kita," ucapnya.
Menurut Ilham, peluncuran buku pada Hari Sumpah Pemuda merupakan representasi persatuan dan kesatuan yang bisa didapatkan dari industri kedirgantaraan.
Karena, kata Ilham, untuk membuat persatuan dan kesatuan, perlu adanya keadilan dalam menjangkau seluruh wilayah di Indonesia. Lalu Ilham mengatakan, untuk menjangkau wilayah Indonesia perlu adanya sarana dan prasarana, terutama melalui udara. "Dan kalau kita lihat persatuan dan kesatuan, harus adanya sarana dan prasarana, untuk menyentuh jayapura tidak bisa dengan kereta api dan mobil, harus pakai pesawat, perlu juga tentunya kapal laut," katanya. "Industri perkapalan dan digital penting juga," sambungnya.

R80 Ergonomic Flight Deck Mock-Up

One of the activities in the designing process of the R80 is to create a design concept of the Flight Deck, which should meet all the requirements. Besides defining all the equipment as required, it should also have to consider the placement of all those equipment so that could be ease, comfort, stressless, fatigue less of the pilot operations. The flight deck should accommodate pilots with all various postures n high.

For this purpose, RAI cooperate with IPI (Ikatan Pilot Indonesia), one of the pilot association in Indonesia, to study the Ergonomic of the R80 Flight Deck, and build an Ergonomic Flight Deck Mock-Up to visualize and prove the design concept.

Qatar Diaspora Supports the Development of BJ Habibie's Aircraft Design

Doha: The Indonesian Diaspora Community in Qatar supports crowdfunding efforts for the development of the R80 turboprop aircraft designed by the RI 3rd President, BJ Habibie.

This was conveyed by the Indonesian Ambassador to Qatar, Muhammad Basri Sidehabi in a meeting with the diaspora with the delegation of PT Regio Aviasi Industri.

Crowdfunding itself is an alternative business funding method or it can be called fundraising to realize a project or social interest.

This R80 project requires funding, but until now all has not been fulfilled. Meanwhile, 55 percent of R80 financing comes from within the country, including through non-budget investment financing (PINA), the national private sector, crowdfunding, and vendors.

This aircraft project has officially entered into the National Strategic Project (PSN) through Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 58 of 2017 concerning National Strategic Projects. The Perpres lists 248 projects that are included in the Acceleration of National Strategic Project Implementation program, including the R80 aircraft which is targeted to fly for the first time in 2022.

The manufacture of the R80 aircraft also has several parts that are produced domestically and some are imported from abroad, such as navigation equipment and radar. Apart from these components and the main engine, all of them are made and produced by Indonesia.

As written from the Indonesian Embassy in Doha to medcom.id, Monday, 20 November 2017, a number of airlines, such as NAM Air, Kalstar, Trigana Air, and Aviastar have expressed their interest in ordering a total of up to 155 R80 aircraft through a Letter of Interest.

Orders from NAM Air are 100 units, Kalstar 25 units, Trigana Air 20 units, and Aviastar 10 units. According to him, the advantages of this aircraft over its closest competitor, namely the ATR-72 used by Garuda Indonesia, are, among others, more efficient, comfortable, and economical, especially for short distances with a distance of about 1,400-1,500 kilometers.

Apart from Doha, the presentation on crowdfunding was also held in the city of Alkhor. According to one of the Indonesian diaspora figures in Qatar, Said Malawi, there are around 15 thousand foreign expatriates from 50 countries working in the Ras Lafan oil and gas fields. Most of them live in the Al-khor Community complex. The Indonesian community reaches 1,500 people and it is the largest Indonesian diaspora community in the world.

The Indonesian Community has 51 community organizations, all of which are under the auspices of the Indonesian Community Association in Qatar (PERMIQA) which has very potential financial resources to raise crowdfunding. According to estimates by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the number of Indonesian citizens in Qatar in 2015 was around 43 thousand, and a quarter of them were skilled workers.
