McDonnell Douglas T-45 Goshawk

The T-45 Goshawk is a highly modified version of the British BAE Systems Hawk land-based training jet aircraft. Manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and British Aerospace (now BAE systems), the T- 45 is used by the U.S. Navy as an aircraft carrier-capable trainer. The Goshawks are powered by the Rolls-Royce Adour turbofan jet engine. During 2009, the final aircraft to be produced was delivered, with the 200th aircraft delivered in March 2007. The T-35 Gosh Hawk is a navalised version of BAe's land- based Hawk trainer. It is used as a training aircraft in the United States Navy's F/A-18 Hornet and F/E-18 Super Hornet fighter jets. It also serves as the basis for the F-16 Fighting Falcon and F-22 Raptor fighter jets, both of which are based on the BAE Hawk. The F-15 Hornet is based on a modified BAE System A-1 Skyhawk. The A-2 Skyhawk was developed by BAE in the 1970s and 1980s.
