Dirgantara Indonesia N-219 Nurtanio
The Indonesian N-219 Nurtanio is a high-wing twin-turboprop utility aircraft designed for remote islands and short, rough runways. Its large doors and fixed landing gear allow it to carry passengers, cargo, or medical supplies into areas where larger regional aircraft cannot operate. The first prototype flew in 2017 and the type achieved Indonesian certification in 2020. It represents an important attempt to revive indigenous aircraft manufacturing in Indonesia after earlier programmes stalled.
