According to Indonesian newspaper The Jakarta Post, aircraft company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) is collaborating with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) to produce unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are capable of flying at a maximum height of 40,000 feet. 

Arie Wibowo, director of production at PTDI, told Jane’s on 18 January that the development programme would be based on the design of TAI’s MALE Anka UAV. 

The UAV project is expected to be completed within one to three years. PTDI and TAI also plan to develop PTDI’s CN-235 and N219 aircraft.
