That's <br>\nwhy we chose it as the sole supplier for Boeing-737 components,\" <br>\nBoeing's manager for international operations, Richard W. Smith, <br>\ntold reporters here yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>He said that cooperation with IPTN began in 1982 when Boeing <br>\nagreed to provide technical assistance to the Bandung-based <br>\naircraft manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>Smith, who is here to attend a research and technology <br>\nexhibition at the Jakarta Fairgrounds, said that the technical <br>\nassistance to IPTN includes raw materials procurement, <br>\nengineering designing, manufacturing, production, flight tests <br>\nand delivery.<\/p>\n<p>\"Now we are also assisting IPTN on the engineering design for <br>\nthe N-250 (a turbo-prop aircraft currently being built by IPTN),\" <br>\nhe said, adding that in 1988, his company assigned IPTN to supply <br>\ncomponents for Boeing-737 aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>IPTN made its first delivery in late January this year. The <br>\ncomponents included 100 sets of inboard, outboard, and right and <br>\nleft flaps worth US$15 million.<\/p>\n<p>Boeing has signed a second contract which will end in 1998, <br>\nmeaning that IPTN will deliver another 100 sets of similar <br>\ncomponents worth $30 million.<\/p>\n<p>Smith, accompanied by Boeing's communication manager Mark G. <br>\nHooper, said his company has modified three Boeing-737 planes <br>\nbelonging to the Indonesian Air Force. The aircraft will have a <br>\nmodern avionic system which will be specially modified for <br>\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n<p>Hooper said that the Seattle-based Boeing produced nearly 400 <br>\naircraft last year, 60 percent of which went to countries in the <br>\nAsia-Pacific region.
