Turkish Aerospace Indonesia as a subsidiary of Turkish Aerospace provides innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions to serve the strategic objectives of both countries’ national global stakeholders.
Turkish Aerospace Indonesia drives technological advancements in Indonesia by fostering collaborations among stakeholders, including but not limited to academia community to prepare graduates and skilled workers for the aerospace industry’s evolving demands. In effort to develop and maintain the collaboration with universities we encourage and offer faculty and students of partner universities to join and participate in programs including but not limited to internship.
The collaboration between Turkish Aerospace Indonesia and Telkom University was initiated through the signing of a MoU in 2023, creating opportunities for various forms of collaboration, such as mentorship for students involved in research projects or internships. After undergoing approximately two months of guidance from Aircraft System Department at Turkish Aerospace Indonesia, on Thursday, January 9, 2025, two Telkom University interns presented their two-month project results at Turkish Aerospace Indonesia. They developed a real-time monitoring system using an Arduino microcontroller and the MPU6050 IMU sensor, despite their background in data analytics. Their project involved data extraction from the MCU, processing it with Python, and creating a real-time visualization dashboard, showcasing their ability to integrate hardware and software.
The presentation detailed their workflow, methodologies, and challenges, followed by a discussion session for feedback and questions. This event highlighted the students’ adaptability and application of data analytics expertise to new domains, resulting in a successful internship. The ongoing partnership between Telkom University and Turkish Aerospace Indonesia fosters cooperation between industry and academia for mutual growth and innovation.
Following the internship program with students from Telkom University, we have also welcomed an intern from the Mechanical Engineering Department of Diponogoro University (UNDIP). The intern was placed under the Department of Aircraft Structure for a one-month period (January – February 2025). His research work focuses on analyzing the margin of safety for the skin, spar, and rib of the horizontal stabilizer structure. The work was conducted under the supervision of a senior static stress analyst, and follows widely recognized reference books & methods, using finite element analysis software common in the aircraft industry.
Looking at the objective of our strategic presence here in Indonesia, we at Turkish Aerospace Indonesia hope that this accomplishment will serve as a stepping stone for further collaborations between Turkish Aerospace Indonesia and the academic ecosystem.
