Hawker Beechcraft, the world’s highest-volume military aircraft manufacturer, has a distinguished record of service and innovation.

"Proven excellence. Extraordinary versatility. Exceptional value. A distinguished record of service and innovation. The T-6 military trainer offers military organizations worldwide the most proven and most cost-effective training system available today.

The T-6 is versatile, safe, and effective for the most basic flight training tasks. With a top speed of 316 knots, a 7G to 3.5 G airframe, and an advanced digital cockpit, it is equally adept at teaching the most advanced aerobatic maneuvers and simulated combat training tasks—tasks that could previously be accomplished only in far more expensive aircraft.

Our latest breakthrough is the Beechcraft T-6B. The T-6B is an advanced version of the T-6A Texan II. To replicate today’s high-tech frontline aircraft, the cockpit includes a Head-Up Display (HUD), Up-Front Control Panel (UFCP), and hands-on throttle and stick. An integrated glass cockpit and a state-of-the-art avionics suite greatly expands its training capabilities, enabling advanced systems and information management skills training. The T-6C is a derivative incorporating a hard-point wing for external fuel tanks.

To date, Hawker Beechcraft’s T-6 military trainer has been used to train pilots and navigators from approximately 20 different countries. The aircraft currently serves as the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy primary training aircraft, as well as the primary trainer for the NATO Flying Training Canada program, the Hellenic Air Force of Greece, the Iraqi Air Force, and the Israeli Air Force.

Hawker Beechcraft in conjunction with our suppliers has designed and delivered a Ground Based Training System (GBTS) specifically developed as an integral part of the T-6 Total Training System. The T-6 GBTS is in use at five US Air Force and two Navy locations. An array of aircrew training devices bridge the gap between academics and aircraft sorties. Our high fidelity training devices exactly replicate cockpit layout and aircraft performance and operate consistently at a 99% mission effectiveness rate."

Meets U.S. Counterinsurgency & Building Partner Capacity Needs for Light Attack and Armed Reconnaissance

"In a world where flexibility is critical, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation delivers robust purpose-built solutions for irregular warfare. With a rich heritage of meeting military mission needs the Hawker Beechcraft Corporation has been delivering U.S. Department of Defense aircraft certified to military specifications for more than 50 years. Today, 100 percent of United States Air Force (USAF) and United States Navy (USN) student pilots train in a Hawker Beechcraft aircraft. Also, Hawker Beechcraft has been meeting the needs of over 50 foreign military nations around the world with trainer, weaponized trainer and special mission aircraft.

The Beechcraft AT 6 incorporates the very best of proven training methods and close air support capability to meet light attack and armed reconnaissance requirements. AT-6 capabilities cover a wide-mission spectrum that includes training, manned Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and light precision attack, while at the same time offering non-traditional capabilities for homeland defense and civil support missions.

Now upgraded with a more powerful 1600 Shaft Horsepower Pratt and Whitney PT6A-68D engine, the AT-6 is a structurally strengthened derivative of the proven Beechcraft T-6 trainer. Adding to the FAA approved primary flight avionics system by CMC Esterline, Lockheed Martin leveraged A-10C precision engagement modification capabilities in integrating the mission avionics of the AT-6. The result is a plug-and-play mission system architecture that combines state-of-the-art data link, combat communications capabilities, extensive variety of weapons delivery modes and precision weapons tailored for the AT-6."
