First of Hawk Mk 132s for Indian Air Force In Final Assembly
Aviation Week & Space Technology, 04 Dec 2006


Edited by Patricia J. Parmalee

Printed Headline: Hawk Advances

The first two Hawk Mk 132 Advanced Jet Trainers for the Indian air force--66 were ordered in 2004--are entering final assembly before flight testing at BAE Systems in Warton, England. The contract includes ground-based training systems, associated support and interim pilot training at RAF Valley in Wales. Following major equipment fit and systems testing at Brough, England, the aircraft were transported by road to Warton where the wings will be fitted to the fuselages and the aircraft will undergo a series of tests prior to first flight. The first AJT is scheduled to be delivered to India in September 2007. While 24 will be built at BAE Systems' facilities in Brough, 42 aircraft will be manufactured under license in India through a partnership with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., the country's largest defense manufacturer.
