This British advanced jet trainer is well liked by the RAF due to its high utilization rate. The Hawk can be prepared for flight in less than 20 mimutes, and its primary structure can obtain a safe fatigue life of 6,000 hrs. The Hawk is most famous for its use by the Red Arrow aerobatics team. This aircraft has a cruising speed of 645 m.p.h., and has the capability of carrying 5,660 lbs. of armaments.
Designed to meet an RAF requirement for a fast trainer to replace the Folland Gnat, the BaE Hawk first flew on August 21, 1974. This tandem two-seat aircraft has a distinctive appearance, with the front seat positioned below the rear seat so that the instructor has a clear view of the student's cockpit. The Hawk is subsonic in level flight but can achieve Mach 1.15 in a dive, giving trainees the experience of supersonic flight. Hawks are expensive to produce but durable and maneuverable enough to be used for combat. The Hawk is in use in 18 different nations, and is still in production today. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
