At the Aero India show in Bangalore, in collaboration with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), BAE Systems has unveiled the Advanced Hawk that it first described in the UK last June. Painted in Anglo-Indian colors, the British company’s development aircraft ZJ100 is on display at HAL’s stand, and there is also a simulator displaying the aircraft’s new capabilities. These include active leading-edge slats and combat flaps on the wings, and a large-area display in the cockpit.
