| Abstract: | China, Indonesia, Japan and Korea all have big loans for a 100-seat jetliner for Asia. Will these planes ever get off the ground? And will they sell? After the 1995 maiden flight of Indonesia's first domestically designed and built commercial airplane, Research and Technology Minister B.J.Habibie seemed himself ready to soar. " This is the national awakening of higher technology in Indonesia," he said expansively. Tears came to some onlookers as the greatest example yet of Indonesian aerospace achievement found the sky after two test dashes down the runway. |
