Short description: Propfan-powered regional aircraft proposal
The Advanced Technology Regional Aircraft 90 (ATRA-90) was a propfan-powered regional aircraft that was proposed in 1986. Conceived by Industri Pesawat Terbang Nusantara (IPTN) of Indonesia, the multi-national project was also backed by Boeing of the United States , Fokker of the Netherlands, and Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) of West Germany.[1] The ATRA-90 was targeted for introduction between 1992 and 1995,[2] but the project was put on hold in 1988.[3]
Design
The aircraft was designed to transport between 83 and 115 passengers a distance of 1,500–2,100 nautical miles (2,800–3,900 kilometers; 1,700–2,400 miles). It would cruise at a speed of Mach 0.8 and an altitude of 9,100 meters (30,000 feet).[2]
