Mk58 Hawker Hunter – Avionics Upgrade

Our MAA DAOS team have completed another successful modification for our long-standing customer HHA Ltd.

Project Summary

This DAOS approved Major Change upgrades a Mk58 Hawker Hunter with the latest generation avionic systems and equipment to help improve situational awareness and operability.

One of the largest challenges for the team during the design phase was meeting the customers demand to package the new Garmin GTN 750Xi unit in place of the optimally placed but now redundant gunsight.This position provides the best possible field of view and anthropometric interface for the touchscreen system

We utilised our in-house 3D Printing capability to produce a mock-up unit which ensured a perfect fit, first time.

The following equipment was installed as part of the change:

  • 2 x Garmin GI 275 Multi-Function Instruments configured as an Attitude
  • Indicator and a Horizontal Situation Indicator
  • Garmin GTN 750Xi that includes VHF COM/VHF NAV/GPS
  • Garmin GTX 335DR Transponder System
  • Garmin GMA 35 Audio System
  • Garmin Traffic Collision Avoidance System
  • Bendix/King KN 63 DME System
  • LED strobe light system
  • Jupiter Avionics Headset Adapter
