Design and development

After an intensified and revitalized self-reliance program in 1996, the XT-004 project, code-named "Layang", was developed by the PAFRDC in Villamor Air Base, Pasay. It is a single-engine aircraft powered by a 350 hp Allison Model 250-B17D turboshaft engine and is constructed from aluminum with a semi-monocoque structure. According to the PAFRDC, the aircraft jigs and fixtures have already been built since 1985, but lack of funds hindered the completion of the project.[2]

gollark: Somewhat plausible, but you can bind to C from other languages fine.
gollark: COMPLAINING:Why does so much stuff get written in C when it's both slow to develop in versus high-level stuff, *and* wildly unsafe?Everything is wildly insecure and apparently nobody cares?Can we *not* do better with regards to data transfer/interop between programs?
gollark: Oh, that would be fun.
gollark: I finally hooked my monitor up to my laptop so I can be ~~more productive~~ unproductive faster.
gollark: I don't think valgrind can detect race conditions!
