| Developed from | CASA/IPTN CN-235 |
Indonesian Aerospace N-245 is an Indonesian turboprop airliner being developed by Indonesian Aerospace. A refinement of CASA/IPTN CN-235, the N-245 is designed for greater passenger capacity and lower operating costs than the CN-235. The N-245 has a longer body, and a newer engine type, a T-tail and no ramp door.[1]
Design and development
When President Joko Widodo took office, he ordered the revival of several Indonesian aircraft in order to boost the Indonesian economy, including the N250 which captured world attention in 1997. After the successful revival of the N219 aircraft, Indonesian Aerospace decided to make a better and larger aircraft, and chose the N-245, a 50-seat turboprop airliner, as the N219's successor. The airliner was named N-245 for "the spirit of 45", Indonesia's 1945 independence. The program to produce the N-245 began in 2016. Indonesian Aerospace also stated its intention to produce the N-270, the 70-seat version of the N-245 and the N-219.[2]
The design phase was to begin in 2017 and the first N-245 was to be done by 2020. The Indonesian government pledged to provide a total of $44 million to develop the aircraft.[3]
On 8 December 2016, the Indonesian Ministry of Industry opined that the N-245 and the RAI R-80 (another turboprop aircraft to be built by Indonesian Aerospace) should be designated as Strategic National Projects.[4] On 10 February 2017, the N-245 and the R-80 were added to the project list. Due to this decision, the government was to prioritize the development of both aircraft, and accelerate the production timetable, saying that both aircraft could make a first flight as soon as 2019.[5]
