LAUNCHBAR 6 CONVERT MILES TO KM UPGRADE

Upgrade conversion of Mk 60 for Abu Dhabi Uprated Mk 861 Adour engine of 5,700 lb st (25.4 kN), additional wing leading-edge fences and four-position flaps to improve lift, anti-skid brakes and revised wheels and tyres. Modification to T.Mk 1A to allow installation of AIM-9L Sidewinder AAMs on underwing launchers for use in a back-up air defence role No prototypes or pre-production aircraft produced Manufacturers designation for final project studies Manufacturers Designation: HS.1182 Development History: The T-45 Goshawk variant, adopted by the US Navy is also described separately. Further development led to the Hawk 100 and Hawk 200 series, described separately. In 1982 an improved export version, the 60 series was introduced, featuring an uprated engine, improved wing aerodynamics and revised wheels and tyres. This minimum change version included provision for underwing drop tanks for the first time. The Royal Navy also acquired a dozen Hawk T.Mk 1/1As from the RAF, for use by FRADU as aerial targets for the training of ships gunners and radar operators.įrom an early stage, the Hawk had aroused considerable export interest, and in 1977 the 50 series export variant was introduced. The Hawk subsequently replaced the Canberra in the target towing role. These aircraft are now used as dedicated weapons trainers. The resulting T.Mk 1A variant was intended for emergency use as a point-defence fighter, supporting Phantoms and Tornados in the UK Defence Region. The Hawk gained an additional role from January 1983, when modification of 88 RAF aircraft to carry Sidewinder missiles commenced. The most famous RAF operator being the ‘Red Arrows’ aerobatic team. After entering RAF service in April 1976, the Hawk replaced the Gnat and Hunter in the advanced training and weapons training roles respectively. Five of these aircraft were later delivered to the RAF.

The stepped cockpit, allowing the instructor in the rear seat a good forward view, was an innovation subsequently adopted by many other training aircraft.Ĭonfidence in the design was such that no prototypes or pre-production aircraft were ordered, the first six production aircraft being used for development testing. Accordingly, in 1968 Hawker Siddeley Aviation began the design of a much simpler strictly subsonic trainer, which it designated P.1182 (later HS.1182). The two-seat Jaguar was initially intended for this role, but it was soon realised that this would be far from ideal. The Hawk originates from a 1964 requirement for a new RAF trainer to replace the Gnat.
