Paris Air Show: Striker II from testbed to head
BAE Systems showcased for the first time a new modified version of its Striker II Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) at Paris Air Show last week. …
BAE Systems has successfully completed the first flight of its Advanced Hawk concept demonstrator aircraft at its facility in Warton, Lancashire, the company announced on 7 June.
The aircraft is a concept of a future variant of BAE Systems' Hawk trainer aircraft to meet next generation requirements.
With an upgraded cockpit, the aircraft is equipped with BAE Systems’ LiteHUD low-profile head-up display and a new large area display that introduces a new student/pilot training experience. The trainer aircraft also has increased stores capability, a new set of defensive aids and new flight systems.
The Advanced Hawk also features a redesigned wing that increases performance in areas such as turn rates, angles of attack and both take-off and landing.
BAE Systems is proposing that many of these new features could be achievable as upgrades to the Hawk.
The aircraft will now undergo a series of flights to gather test data on the new key capability enhancements.
