Length: 12.43 m	Area (Gross): 16.70 m2	Maximum Takeoff: 9100 kg	Internal : 360 Imp Galls	Rolls Royce Adour MK 871 Turbofan
Wing Span: 9.940 m Height: 3.98 m	Sweep (at quarter chord): 21º 31’ 55”	Basic Mass (Empty): 4,440 Kg	Ext. Drop Tanks: 2 x 130 Imp Galls	Static Thrust at sea level: 1 x 25.5 kN (5730 lbf) at sea level ISA

Flying Characteristics

The aircraft has excellent flying characteristics with good stability and response to controls about all three axes
The aircraft is cleared for a wide range of aerobatic manoeuvres and exhibits very good resistance to departure even outside the normal flight envelope
At incidences up to the stall, the aircraft is stable about all axes for all flap configurations
Recovery from any stall is immediate on moving the control column forward
The Hawk Mk.132 wing has a moderate amount of fixed droop to the leading edge to aid sustained turn performance in the speed range 0.4 to 0.7 M
The aircraft is spin-resistant, but is cleared for deliberate upright spinning in the basic aircraft configuration with or without the gunpod
The aircraft is currently cleared for take-off and landing with a crosswind component of 30 knots (55 km/hr)
For solo flying the front cockpit is used
The aircraft has an inverted flight (negative g) capability of 30 secs
The aircraft may be flown at night, either dual or solo, without any additional flight limitations

International Co-Operation

The Division has made a breakthrough on Exports by bagging the biggest ever export contract from Airbus Industries France, for the supply of Forward Passenger Doors for A320/A321.

The Division’s performance in the supply of export packages has been credited with “No rejection “and “No Delay “at most competitive prices.
