ATRA-90

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]
