===Hawk AJT=== The BAE Systems Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT) differs from previous variants in that it features modern LCDs instead of conventional instrumentation and is powered by the [[Rolls-Royce Adour]] 951 engine. In 2012, orders were placed for the AJT version by the Royal Saudi Air Force and the Royal Air Force of Oman.<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.defensenews.com/article/20121221/DEFREG04/312210001/Oman-BAE-Reach-Agreement-Typhoon-Hawk-Deal?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE |title= Oman, BAE Reach Agreement on Typhoon and Hawk Deal |location= London |work= Defense News |date= 21 December 2012 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://archive.today/20130121100913/http://www.defensenews.com/article/20121221/DEFREG04/312210001/Oman-BAE-Reach-Agreement-Typhoon-Hawk-Deal?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE |archive-date= 21 January 2013}} [http://newsmilitary.com/pages/9587210-oman-bae-reach-agreement-on-typhoon-and-hawk-deal Alt URL]</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.baesystems.com/en/article/ian-kings-agm-2013-speech |title= Ian King's AGM 2013 speech |date= 9 April 2013 |work= BAE Newsroom |publisher= BAE Systems |access-date= 14 April 2017 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20161130082519/http://www.baesystems.com/en/article/ian-kings-agm-2013-speech |archive-date= 30 November 2016 |url-status= live }}</ref> *'''Hawk 128 (Hawk T2)''' β Version for the RAF and Royal Navy.
