subsonic airliner designs. The technological highlights among others: 2-man crew<br />
by automating the flight engineer’s functions, an industry first (a request made<br />
by Garuda <strong>Indonesia</strong>, an idea proposed by B. J. Habibie, who at that time was<br />
<strong>Indonesia</strong>’s Minister of Research and Technology); High degree of automation,<br />
requiring the flight engineer’s intervention only in an emergency situation; and<br />
the first airliner to use winglets for better aerodynamics. Those technologies are<br />
implemented in further series of Airbus sub sonic aircraft.<br />
