An Indonesian official says a helicopter has spotted wreckage of the Russian Sukhoi Superjet plane that disappeared on Wednesday.
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 disappeared from radar screens 50 minutes after taking off from Jakarta for a brief demonstration flight.
A military official said the helicopter had seen the plane on the side of a mountain cliff.
About 50 people are said to have been on board.
There was no information given about the fate of those on the plane.
The jet vanished near the city of Bogor. An eyewitness subsequently reported seeing an aircraft flying low in mountainous terrain around Mt Salak.
Eight Russian pilots and technicians, Indonesian airline representatives and journalists were among those on board the plane.
