The BAE Systems Hawk is a British single-engine, subsonic, jet-powered advanced trainer aircraft. Its aluminum alloy fuselage is of conventional string-frame construction.{{cite journal |last1=Fraser-Mitchell |first1=Harry |title=The HAWK Story |journal=Journal of Aeronautical History |date=2013 |url=https://www.aerosociety.com/media/4842/the-hawk-story.pdf}} It was first known as the Hawker Siddeley Hawk, and subsequently produced by its successor companies, British Aerospace and BAE Systems. It has been used in a training capacity and as a low-cost combat aircraft.
Operators of the Hawk include the Royal Air Force (notably the Red Arrows display team) and several foreign military operators. The Hawk was produced at BAE Brough until 2020 in the UK,{{cite news | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-55438942 | title=BAE Brough: Aircraft manufacturing ends after 104 years | work=BBC News | date=24 December 2020 }} and continues to be produced under licence in India by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), with over 1000 Hawks sold to 18 operators around the world.

=Origins=
In 1964, the Royal Air Force specified a requirement (Air Staff Target, AST, 362) for a new fast jet trainer to replace the Folland Gnat. The SEPECAT Jaguar was originally intended for this role, but it was soon realised that it would be too complex an aircraft for fast jet training and only a small number of two-seat versions were purchased. Accordingly, in 1968, Hawker Siddeley Aviation (HSA) began studies for a simpler aircraft, initially as special project (SP) 117. The design team was led by Ralph Hooper.Flight International 22 November 1986, p. 61.
This project was funded by the company as a private venture, in anticipation of possible RAF interest. The design was conceived of as having tandem seating and a combat capability in addition to training, as it was felt the latter would improve export sales potential. By the end of the year HSA had submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Defence based on the design concept, and in early 1970 the RAF issued Air Staff Target (AST) 397 which formalised the requirement for new trainers of this type. The RAF selected the HS.1182 for their requirement on 1 October 1971 and the principal contract, for 175 aircraft, was signed in March 1972.Reed, A., "Modern Combat Aircraft 20: BAe Hawk", Chapter 1 (Ian Allan, 1985) {{ISBN|978-0-7110-1465-7}}Donald, D. and Lake, J., eds, "Encyclopedia of World Military Aircraft", Volume 1 (Aerospace Publishing, 1994) {{ISBN|978-1-874023-51-7}}"
The prototype aircraft XX154 first flew on 21 August 1974 from Dunsfold piloted by Duncan Simpson, Chief Test Pilot of HSA (Kingston), reaching 20,000 ft in a flight lasting 53 minutes.RAF Museum postal cover "Commemorating the First Flight of the Hawk", 21 August 1974. All development aircraft were built on production jigs; the program remained on time and to budget throughout. The Hawk T1 entered RAF service in late 1976.Polmar and Bell 2004, p. 388. The first export Hawk 50 flew on 17 May 1976. This variant had been specifically designed for the dual role of lightweight fighter and advanced trainer; it had a greater weapons capacity than the T.1.

More variants of the Hawk followed, and common improvements to the base design typically included increased range, more powerful engines, redesigned wing and undercarriage, the addition of radar and forward-looking infrared, GPS navigation, and night-vision compatibility.Polmar and Bell 2004, p. 387-390. Later models were manufactured with a great variety in terms of avionics fittings and system compatibility to suit the individual customer nation; cockpit functionality was often rearranged and programmed to be common to an operator's main fighter fleet to increase the Hawk's training value.[http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1994/1994%20-%200430.html "British Aerospace Hawk."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130731195635/http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1994/1994%20-%200430.html |date=31 July 2013 }} Flight International, 22 February 1994.
In 1981, a derivative of the Hawk was selected by the United States Navy as their new trainer aircraft. Designated the McDonnell Douglas T-45 Goshawk, the design was adapted to naval service and strengthened to withstand operating directly from the decks of carriers, in addition to typical land-based duties. This T-45 entered service in 1994; initial aircraft had analogue cockpits, while later deliveries featured a digital glass cockpit. All airframes were planned to undergo avionics upgrades to a common standard.Polmar and Bell 2004, pp. 387, 389–340.

A major competitor to the Hawk for export sales has been the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet; aviation expert John W. R. Taylor commented: "What Europe must avoid is the kind of wasteful competition that has the Hawker Siddeley Hawk and Dassault-Breguet/Dornier Alpha Jet battling against each other in the world market."Taylor 1976, p. 63. By early 1998, a total of 734 Hawks had been sold, more than 550 of which had been sold to export customers.Phythian 2001, p. 166. Military customers often procured the Hawk as a replacement for older aircraft such as the BAC Strikemaster, Hawker Hunter, and Douglas A-4 Skyhawk.Phythian 2001, pp. 156, 239, 246.
During the 1980s and 1990s, British Aerospace, the successor company to Hawker Siddeley, was trying to gain export sales of the variable-wing Panavia Tornado strike aircraft; however, countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, which had shown initial interest in the Tornado, concluded that the Hawk is a more suitable and preferable aircraft for their requirements.Phythian 2001, p. 180. Malaysia and Oman cancelled their arranged Tornado orders in the early 1990s, both choosing to procure the Hawk, instead.Phythian 2001, pp. 180–181, 246. Aviation authors Norman Polmar and Dana Bell stated of the Hawk: "Of the many similar designs competing for a share of the world market, the Hawk has been without equal in performance as well as sales".Polmar and Bell 2004, p. 387.
On 22 December 2004, the Ministry of Defence awarded a contract to BAE Systems to develop an advanced model of the Hawk for the RAF and Royal Navy.{{cite news |title=Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer |url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200405/cmhansrd/vo050126/text/50126w01.htm |publisher=Hansard Column 333W |date=26 January 2005 |access-date=30 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170706222512/https://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200405/cmhansrd/vo050126/text/50126w01.htm |archive-date=6 July 2017 |url-status=live }} The Hawk Mk. 128, otherwise designated as Hawk T2, replaces conventional instrumentation with a glass cockpit, to better resemble modern fighter aircraft such as the new mainstay of the RAF, the Eurofighter Typhoon. In October 2006, a £450 million contract was signed for the production of 28 Hawk 128s.{{cite news|title=BAE lands £450m Hawks contract |publisher=Blackpool Today |date=20 October 2006 }} The aircraft's maiden flight occurred on 27 July 2005 from BAE Systems' Warton Aerodrome."Hawk Mk 128 Makes Maiden Flight" Air Forces Monthly, September 2005, p. 6.
According to BAE Systems, as of July 2012, they had sold nearly 1000 Hawks, with sales continuing.Hoyle, Craig.

In July 2012, Australian Defence Minister Stephen Smith confirmed that Australia's fleet of Hawk Mk 127s would be upgraded to a similar configuration to the RAF's Hawk T2 as part of a major mid-life upgrade.Hoyle, Craig.

In May 2015, Indian aerospace manufacturer Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) revealed that it was examining the prospects of performing its own Hawk upgrades, including armed light attack variants. The Indian Air Force, which were in the process of receiving trainer Hawks built under licence by HAL, were reportedly interested in the upgrade proposals, which would also include avionics and cockpit modifications; HAL has stated that it also aims to export combat Hawks to other countries in partnership with BAE. Missile developer and manufacturer MBDA may provide their ASRAAM and Brimstone missiles to arm the new attack type.Chandra, Atul.

Design
File:RAF Hawk T1 4FTS Mildenhall 1984.JPEG, Suffolk, 1984]] The Hawk is an advanced 2-seat trainer with a tandem cockpit, a low-mounted cantilever wing and is powered by a single turbofan engine. The design team was led by Ralph Hooper.{{cite journal|journal=The Times|date=24 January 2023|page=49|title=Ralph Hooper (obituary)}} Unlike many of the previous trainers in RAF service, the Hawk was specifically designed for training.Field 1976. p. 834. Hawker had developed the aircraft to have a high level of serviceability, as well as lower purchasing and operating costs than previous trainers like the Jet Provost.Field 1976. pp. 834–835. The Hawk has been praised by pilots for its agility, in particular its roll and turn handling.Field 1976. p. 842.
The design of the fuselage included a height differential between the two seats of the cockpit; this provided generous levels of visibility for the instructor in the rear seat.Field 1976. p. 835. Each cockpit is fitted with a Martin-Baker Mk 10B zero-zero rocket-assisted ejection seat. Air is fed to the aircraft's rear-mounted Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour engine via intakes on each of the forward wing roots. During the aircraft's development, Hawker had worked closely with Rolls-Royce to reduce the engine's fuel consumption and to ensure a high level of reliability.
Even within the development stages, a Hawk variant was intended to also serve as a single-seat ground-attack fighter; both the trainer and fighter models were developed with the export market in mind. On single seat models, the forward cockpit area which normally houses a pilot is replaced by an electronics bay for avionics and onboard systems, including a fire control computer, multi-mode radar, laser rangefinder and forward-looking infrared (FLIR).[https://books.google.com/books?id=reE9YRnv2i0C "Hawk 200 faces a tougher market."] New Scientist, 10 July 1986. p. 28. Some export customers, such as Malaysia, have extensive modifications to their aircraft, including the addition of wingtip hardpoint stations and a fittable inflight refuelling probe.Polmar and Bell 2004, p. 389.

The Hawk was designed to be manoeuvrable and can reach Mach 0.88 in level flight and Mach 1.15 in a dive, thus allowing trainees to experience transonic flight before advancing to a supersonic trainer.Donald, David ed. "British Aerospace (HS) Hawk", The Complete Encyclopedia of World Aircraft. Barnes & Nobel Books, 1997. {{ISBN|0-7607-0592-5}}.Field 1976. p. 836. The airframe is very durable and strong, stressed for +9 g; the normal limit in RAF service is +7.5/-4 g.Caliaro, Luigi. In flight with the Red Arrows, A&D Magazine, May 1996, p. 51. A dual hydraulic system supplies power to operate systems such as the aircraft's flaps, airbrakes and landing gear, together with the flight controls. A ram air turbine is fitted in front of the single tail fin to provide backup hydraulic power for the flight controls in the event of an engine failure;Jackson 2003, pp. 479–480. additionally, a gas turbine auxiliary power unit is housed directly above the engine.
The Hawk is designed to carry a centreline gun pod, such as the 30 mm ADEN cannon, two under-wing pylons, and up to four hardpoints for fitting armaments and equipment. In RAF service, Hawks have been equipped to operate the Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. In the early 1990s, British Aerospace investigated the possibility of arming the Hawk with the Sea Eagle anti-ship missile for export customers.Phythian 2001, p. 181. In 2016, BAE Systems was developing the so-called 'Advanced Hawk' with a new wing using leading-edge slats, and potentially additional sensors and weapons, a head-mounted display, and a single large-screen display in the forward cockpit.Pocock, Chris.

The Hawk entered RAF service in April 1976, replacing the Folland Gnat and Hawker Hunter for advanced training and weapons training. The Hawk T1 was the original version used by the RAF, deliveries commencing in November 1976. The most famous users of the Hawk are the Red Arrows aerobatic team, who adopted the plane in 1979.[http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/behindthescenes/teamhistory.cfm "RAF Red Arrows – Team History."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110405230743/http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/behindthescenes/teamhistory.cfm |date=5 April 2011 }} Royal Air Force, Retrieved: 25 August 2012.
From 1983 to 1986, some Hawks were equipped as short-range interceptor aircraft. 88 T1s were modified to carry two AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missiles in addition to a 30 mm ADEN cannon gun pod; these aircraft were redesignated as Hawk T1A. In a wartime scenario, they would have worked in collaboration with the RAF's Tornado F3 interceptors, which would use their Foxhunter search radars and more sophisticated navigation systems to vector the Hawks against enemy targets.Jane's Defence Weekly, 1986. pp. 395–400.
The Hawk subsequently replaced the English Electric Canberra for target towing duties. The Royal Navy acquired a dozen Hawk T1/1As from the RAF; these are typically operated in a support role, often to conduct simulated combat training on board ships.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8034466.stm "Inside a Navy Hawk fighter jet."] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090509233940/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8034466.stm |date=9 May 2009 }} BBC News, 6 May 2009.
During the 1990s and 2000s, 80 Hawk T1/1A aircraft were upgraded under the Fuselage Replacement Programme (FRP) to extend their operational lifespan; sections of the centre and rear fuselage sections were entirely replaced.Gething, Michael J. "RAF Hawk FRP Moves Onwards." Jane's Defence Upgrades, 1 April 2003. In 2009, the RAF began receiving the first Hawk T2, in the long term, T2 aircraft will replace the ageing T1s.{{cite magazine |title=RAF accepts first Hawk T2s but others head for storage |magazine=Flight International |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2009/02/26/323076/raf-accepts-first-hawk-t2s-but-others-head-for-storage.html |date=26 February 2009 |access-date=6 September 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101216080402/http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2009/02/26/323076/raf-accepts-first-hawk-t2s-but-others-head-for-storage.html |archive-date=16 December 2010 |url-status=live }} Training operations on the Hawk T2 began in April 2012.Hoyle, Craig.

In November 2011, the Red Arrows suffered another pilot fatality when the Martin-Baker Mk.10 ejection seat fitted to the Hawk T1 activated while the aircraft was stationary; the veteran combat pilot died on ground impact when the ejector seat parachute also failed to deploy.{{Cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-15835411 |title=BBC News Lincolnshire, Inquest hears Red Arrows pilot died from fall injuries |access-date=20 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151018060525/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-15835411 |archive-date=18 October 2015 |url-status=live |work=BBC News |date=22 November 2011 }} This resulted in the UK Ministry of Defence implementing a ban on non-essential flying in aircraft fitted with ejector seats similar to those fitted in the Hawk T1 after the death. The ban was lifted for Tornado attack jets but remained on Hawk T1, Hawk T2 and Tucano flights while the RAF reviewed evidence on those aircraft.
In October 2017, the RAF and Royal Navy operated 75 Hawk T1 and 28 Hawk T2. According to the Ministry of Defence, the planned out-of-service date for the Hawk T1 was 2030, with the aircraft selected to meet the requirements of the Air Support to Defence Operational Training (ASDOT) programme beginning to replace the Hawk from 2027.{{cite web|url=http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2017-10-16/107748|title=Hawk Aircraft:Written question – 107748|date=23 October 2017|website=UK Parliament|language=en|access-date=26 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171027025522/http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2017-10-16/107748|archive-date=27 October 2017|url-status=live}} However, in July 2021, it was announced that all UK military units operating the Hawk T1 aircraft, apart from the Red Arrows, would see their airframes retired by 31 March 2022.{{cite news |last1=Sedgwick |first1=Philip |title=RAF workhorse Hawk T1s to go into early retirement |url=https://www.darlingtonandstocktontimes.co.uk/news/19449244.raf-workhorse-hawk-t1s-go-early-retirement/ |access-date=23 July 2021 |work=Darlington and Stockton Times |date=17 July 2021}}

In January 1978, Britain and Finland announced a deal in which the Finnish Air Force was to receive 50 Hawk Mk. 51s in 1980;[https://archive.today/20130201205403/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/csmonitor_historic/access/184625572.html?dids=184625572:184625572&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&date=Jan+06,+1978&author=By+Alexander+MacLeod+Special+to+The+Christian+Science+Monitor&pub=Christian+Science+Monitor&desc=Britain-Finland+barter+deal&pqatl=google "Britain-Finland barter deal."] The Christian Science Monitor, 6 January 1978. these aircraft were built in Finland under licence by Valmet. The Finnish Air Force was limited to 60 first-line fighter aircraft by the Paris Peace Treaty of 1947; by acquiring Hawks, which counted as trainers rather than fighters, capacity could be increased while continuing treaty compliance.
