The T-45A/C Goshawk is the U.S. Navy’s two-seat advanced jet trainer. The T-45 is a modified version of the Hawk advanced jet trainer used by the Royal Air Force and flown by the Red Arrows acrobatic display team. Several modifications to the basic Hawk airframe were incorporated into the T-45 Goshawk design so it could operate from an aircraft carrier. These included landing gear modifications, strengthened airframe and undercarriage for catapult launches, and the addition of a tailhook.
