Fotogalleri af en Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye, The Grumman E-2 Hawkeye er et amerikansk all-weather, hangarskibs-kapabelt taktisk luftbårent tidlig varslingsfly (AEW). Dette twin-turboprop fly blev designet og udviklet i slutningen af 1950'erne og begyndelsen af 1960'erne af Grumman Aircraft Company for United States Navy som erstatning for den tidligere E-1 Tracer, som hurtigt blev forældet. Flyets ydeevne er blevet opgraderet med E-2B og E-2C versionerne, hvor de fleste af ændringerne blev foretaget i radar- og radiokommunikationen på grund af fremskridt inden for elektroniske integrerede kredsløb og anden elektronik. Den fjerde version af Hawkeye er E-2D, som første gang fløj i 2007. E-2 var det første fly designet til at være et AEW-fly fra starten, i modsætning til en ændring af et eksisterende flyskrog, såsom E-3.

General Characteristics and Role
The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an American all-weather, carrier-capable tactical airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft. It was developed to replace the E-1 Tracer and has become the US Navy’s primary AEW platform. Distinctive for its massive 24-foot (7.3 m) diameter rotating radar dome, or rotodome, mounted above the fuselage, the E-2 is often referred to as “the eyes of the fleet.” Its primary mission is to provide wide-area surveillance of the sea and air, detecting hostile aircraft and cruise missiles at long range. The E-2 acts as a flying command and control center, directing friendly fighter aircraft, managing air traffic, and coordinating search and rescue operations. It is essential for extending the defensive and offensive capabilities of a carrier strike group far beyond the ship’s own radar horizon.

Besætning
5 (Pilot, Co-Pilot, Combat Information Center Officer, Air Control Officer, Radar Operator)
Længde
17.60 m (57 ft 9 in)
Vingefang
24.56 m (80 ft 7 in)
Max Takeoff Weight
Approx. 26,000 kg (57,500 lb)
Powerplant and Sensor Systems
Engines: 2 x Rolls-Royce T56-A-427A turboprop engines (E-2D model uses the -427A).
Engine Power: Approx. 5,100 shp (3,800 kW) per engine.
Maximum Speed: Approx. 648 km/h (403 mph).
Endurance: Over 6 hours on station.
Radar System: The E-2C utilized the APS-145 radar; the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye uses the significantly more capable AN/APY-9 radar. The radar provides 360-degree coverage and can track hundreds of targets simultaneously.
Rotodome: The rotodome is hydro-mechanically rotated at 6 RPM during flight, providing continuous scanning.
Carrier Features: Equipped with hydraulically folding outer wing panels and a strong arrestor hook for shipboard operations.
Service History and Legacy
Modernization: The E-2 has undergone continuous modernization, culminating in the current E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, which features a “glass cockpit,” aerial refueling capability, and the revolutionary AN/APY-9 radar.
Export: The Hawkeye has been exported to several key US allies, including France (used on their nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Charles de Gaulle), Japan, Israel (now retired), Egypt, and Taiwan.
Operational Importance: It is one of only two turboprop aircraft currently operating from US Navy supercarriers (the other being the C-2 Greyhound, based on the same airframe).
Key Events: E-2s have played crucial roles in numerous conflicts, including the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, primarily by controlling air space and guiding aircraft.
C-2 Greyhound: The Hawkeye airframe was the basis for the C-2 Greyhound carrier-on-board delivery (COD) transport aircraft, highlighting the versatility of the original design.
En tanke om "Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye – WalkAround"
Grumman E-2C Hawkeye Walk Around med finnepropellerne taget af Cees hendriks er fra Midway Museum i San Diego. :)) Jeg ved, fordi jeg var der 3 gange, og jeg har MANGE billeder af midtvejsmuseet. Hvis du kigger bag flyet, vil du se # 41 på USS Midway.
