The Hawk has been in service with the RAF since 1976 and has continued to develop for over 40 years, becoming a global success story with export versions being flown in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Malaysia, Indonesia, Canada, Australia and many other countries.
Sphaera's training designers have extensive hands-on experience with this aircraft and the technical capability to produce bespoke CBT or eLearning material for a full range of systems. This experience includes:
Design of interactive CBT courseware for aircrew and groundcrew
Conducting on-the-job training (OJT)
Classroom instruction
Hands-on maintenance and preparation
Weapons loading and certification
Our interactive training solutions can feature interactive 3D models, control panels and schematic diagrams.
Use of 3D models enables users to identify the location of key components such as stores management computers, pylons, gun pods, armament junction boxes and associated cockpit controls.
In the example Hawk Mk 65, you can clearly identify the location of the pylons, gun pod and weapons programming unit (WPU).
Fully emulated aircraft control panels enable students to learn about the controls and then practise any associated flight management procedures in total safety.
In this example of a weapons control panel from the Hawk 100 series, students can practise checking the stores inventory or setting-up weapons release parameters.
Interactive system diagrams enable students to learn about each of the electrical components as the circuit is built up using a series of easy to understand steps. Then, when the system is complete, instructors or students can set up the system conditions and view the operation under those conditions.
The example shows the Hawk 100 armament electrical supplies.
The Adour Turbofan provides propulsion for the Hawk and also the SEPECAT Jaguar.
Unlike high-bypass turbofan engines (that are used in almost all large passenger aircraft) the Adour is a low-bypass turbofan design which is far more suitable for the speed ranges associated with military aircraft. The engine features a 2-stage LP compressor driven by a single-stage LP turbine and 5-stage HP compressor driven by a single-stage HP turbine.
We have a large set of clear schematic images for this engine and its associated cockpit instrumentation, which can be used to quickly create bespoke training material to match your specific training requirements.
