BAe Hawk T.1 – brief historical overview

The BAe Hawk T.1 is an advanced British jet trainer aircraft designed by British Aerospace (BAe). The aircraft made its first flight in 1974, and production started soon after. The Hawk T.1 was widely used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from the late 1970s, as well as by other countries such as Finland and India. It is best known as the aircraft of the Red Arrows aerobatic team and was used during the Cold War and modern times, playing a key role in training pilots for jet fighter service.

Product features and application

• The Pitot tube is a key part of the aircraft's airspeed measurement system, located on the nose of the plane.

• Very easy assembly – simply drill a hole in the plastic and secure the pitot with cyanoacrylate glue.
