British Aerospace Hawk T.1A Aircraft Data
Two-seat advanced jet and weapons trainer.
The British Aerospace Hawk, formerly Hawker-Siddley Aerospace, is the U.K's primary and advanced jet trainer. Conceived as a replacement for the Folland Gnat in the early 1970's, the Hawk was an instant success. Over 175 airframes have been supplied to the RAF and 18 other countries. McDonnell Douglas, in the U.S., produced a modified version of the Hawk for the U.S. Navy, as the T-45 'Goshawk'. India has a license to build 100 Hawk Mk.130 for the Indian Air Force.
Despite being a jet trainer, the Hawk has the ability to serve as a weapons trainer and light attack aircraft. The separating difference between the Hawk T.1 and Hawk T.1A is the ability to carry 1,500lbs of stores on the T.1A.
