WACO, Texas - Vector-Hawk Aerospace, a subsidiary of Blackhawk Modifications and Vector Aerospace Engine Services, has been awarded a contract to upgrade the U.S. Navy's T-44 Pegasus aircraft training fleet with improved engine instrumentation. The contract covers 54 aircraft and follows on to an earlier contract to produce a prototype.
The instrument package removes the original cockpit engine gauges and upgrades to a new digital/analog-readout engine gauge package. This upgrade will help keep the T-44 in mission ready-condition for years to come while reducing maintenance costs and pilot workload.
The T-44A is manufactured by Beechcraft Corporation. The aircraft is used for advanced turboprop aircraft training and for intermediate E2/C2 (carrier based turboprop radar aircraft) training at the Naval Air Station, Corpus Christi, Texas. The T-44A is powered by two 550 shaft horsepower Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34B turboprop
