From every standpoint it outclasses the opposition. Over 750 aircraft have been ordered, or selected, by 17 customers worldwide. Hawk’s outstanding performance enables it to carry a greater payload than any other advanced jet trainer in the world today. It is equipped to perform in a wider range of operational roles than any other of its direct competitors. Superb aerodynamic and handling characteristics make it the ideal trainer for students whilst its fully aerobatic ability can challenge the most skilful squadron pilot. The rear cockpit instructor’s position has been designed to provide unobstructed forward visibility which is unmatched by any of its rivals. Hawk has earned respect as a reliable and rugged aircraft, being admired by aircrew and ground-crew alike for its serviceability and ease of maintenance. The Hawk T.Mk1 entered RAF service in 1976 and is used routinely for fast jet training, air combat maneuvering and weapon system training. The upgraded T. Mk1A allows the carriage of Sidewinder Air-to-Air missiles. Hawk was the natural choice for the famous RAF Red Arrows aerobatic team, with its excellent flying qualities providing a stable yet maneuverable platform for precise formation aerobatics. Development of the Hawk T.Mk1 led to the initial export version, the Hawk 50 Series flying and weapons trainer. A version of Hawk was selected to provide the US Navy with a sea-going carrier based trainer. The resulting T45A Goshawk is an extensively modified version of the Mk53 export variant. Hawk 60 - the Hawk 50 was further developed to produce the Hawk 60 Series. The Hawk 60 series offers carefree handling characteristics in all regimes of flight, with low fuel consumption, high reliability and ease of maintenance. Hawk 100 - the two-seat Hawk 100, developed from the Hawk 60 Series, is an advanced weapons systems training aircraft with an enhanced ground attack capability and is established in service as one of the most successful advanced trainers/lightweight ground attack aircraft available. The Hawk 100 offers a cost-effective solution to fighter lead-in training, navigator and weapons systems operator training. Through a combination of its powerful Adour Mk871 engine, seven station combat wing and state-of-the-art avionics systems, Hawk 100 can perform operational missions comparable with those of more sophisticated front line combat aircraft, even in poor weather and at night. Hawk LIFT (Lead In Fighter Trainer) - to enhance the Hawk 100 Series’ capability as a lead-in fighter trainer, significant changes have now been made to the avionics suite and associated aircraft systems to make it more fully representative of specific standards of cockpit which the pilot will experience in a front-line aircraft. The result, the Hawk LIFT, is a cost-effective pilot training system capable of producing high caliber aircrew for front-line service. With upgraded systems, capacity for future growth and with extensive weapons clearances, the Hawk LIFT provides a highly capable training aircraft with a credible operational capability. Key features of the Hawk LIFT include a redesigned cockpit with three colour Multi-Function Displays and controls which are compatible with current and projected front-line aircraft. The Head-Up Display (HUD) features symbology compatible with front-line aircraft and flexible software allows the HUD to display a variety of formats. Systems throughout the aircraft have been upgraded to enhance overall aircraft capabilities and reduce reliance on ground equipment. The aircraft also has an in-flight refueling capability. Hawk 200 - is a single-seat, lightweight multi-role combat aircraft. The airframe and systems share a high degree of commonality with the Hawk 100 Series. The Hawk 200 is equipped with the Westinghouse APG-66H multi-mode radar giving comprehensive air defence and ground attack capabilities.
