LIPNUR Belalang
The LIPNUR Belalang ( id, Grasshopper) was a military trainer aircraft built in small numbers in Indonesia by LIPNUR in the late 1950s. It was essentially a Piper L-4J Grasshopper converted to give it a low wing. The NU-85 prototype flew for the first time on 17 April 1958 and the first production of NU-90 took place in 1959. The aircraft was operated by Indonesian Air Force. Indonesian Army and Indonesian Civil Aviation Institute at Curug, Tangerang also used this aircraft. Design and development In 1949-1950 period, the Indonesian Air Force (then called AURI) received around 60 Piper L-4J Grasshoppers from Royal Netherlands East Indies Air Force as part of the transfer of sovereignty. AURI used them as liaison and primary trainer aircraft. In 1957, AURI decided that their ex-Dutch L-4Js, which were powered by 65 hp Continental O-170, were already ageing and needed to be replaced. The L-4Js also has high wing so its aerobatic performance is very limited. Nurtanio Pringgoa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

CASA C-212 Aviocar
The CASA C-212 Aviocar is a turboprop-powered STOL medium cargo aircraft designed and built by the Spanish aircraft manufacturer Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA). It is designed for use by both civil and military operators. The C-212 was developed during the 1960s in response to the Spanish Air Force's need to replace much of its transport aircraft fleet and was designed to perform numerous roles, including ambulance aircraft, paratroop carrier, and utility transport. The first prototype made its maiden flight on 26 March 1971, and an order was secured from the Spanish Air Force three years thereafter. Several other customers emerged, initially from the military sector but, due to the interest of civilian airliners, CASA developed a dedicated civil version of the C-212 as well. Production of the type at the Seville facility would continue for 40 years, with 483 aircraft produced. Indonesia emerged as a key early customer for the C-212. During 1975, the Indonesian airc ...
