摘要

A small ceremony took place at the PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) stand on March 26 to celebrate the signing of the NC212i Development Plan Agreement. Putting their signatures to what effectively starts the light utility transport aircraft's development phase were PTDI President Budi Santoso and Airbus Military's Chairman and CEO Domingo Urena-Raso. The risk-sharing agreement shows both companies' commitment to the project that will be promoted in both the civil and military markets. According to Airbus Military: "We are defining the avionics and will also replace the engine in a bid to reduce costs in a process expected to last until mid-2014."
