Northrop Grumman E-2D Advanced Hawkeye
The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is the newest Hawkeye. The Navy says it has a radar with a two-generation leap in capability, upgraded aircraft systems and a glass cockpit. Two Rolls-Royce T56-A-427A turboprops of 5,100 shaft horsepower each power it, and a crew of five flies it: two pilots and three mission systems operators. The Navy lists a length of 57 feet 8.75 inches, a wingspan of 80 feet 7 inches, an empty weight of 40,484 pounds, a speed of more than 300 knots and a ceiling of 37,000 feet. It reached initial operational capability in October 2014.
