The RAF Red Arrows fly the BAE Systems Hawk T1, a nimble advanced jet trainer adapted for precision aerobatics. Entering service with the team in 1980, the Hawk replaced the Folland Gnat and remains iconic in red livery with white and blue flashes. Powered by the Rolls-Royce Adour, the Hawk delivers crisp throttle response and excellent handling at display speeds. The Red Arrows Hawks are unarmed, smoke-equipped, and meticulously maintained for tight formations, opposition passes, and synchronized rolls. Beyond displays, the aircraft showcases British aerospace engineering and supports recruitment, diplomacy, and national events worldwide, and inspires audiences with disciplined flying.
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.
