Here's one more video tour of an aircraft on display at last week's Paris Air Show. It's the RAF's newest jet trainer, the BAE Hawk T2.
In addition to the new Rolls-Royce Adour 951 engine and other upgrades listed in the video, the jet has recofigurable digital cockpit displays, meaning they can be programmed to replicate, to some extent, the cockpit displays of Britain's most modern fighter, the Eurofighter Typhoon. Such technology is key for jet trainers today because it allows one aircraft to potentially mimick the interiors of several front line fighters, making it extremely flexible as a trainer.
