Because replaces E-2C the Hawkeye 2000
expenses to be expensive, at present the United States Navy carries on
alternately between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic fleet by the team
replacement way. Moreover the United States Navy also by Atlantic fleet's E-2C
Group+ replaces the new 8 sickle oar by the team, and replaces the
new propeller on model add-on Representative NP. Although the new
propeller will reduce engine's greatest rotational speed slightly, but
will increase largely along with the blade total area, therefore may
reduce the engine output actually to be able to obtain a macro-axis
horsepower potency.
Taiwan air force new receive's E-2
will be E-2C Hawkeye 2000NP reduces the justification, the US military at
present not yet for sale abroad satellite communication system and the CEC
demolition, CEC changes into present has output Taiwan's Link-16 simplification
version. Therefore Taiwan these 2 new E-2 model should be E-2T Hawkeye 2000NP,
E-2K is not US military's model, but is Taiwan Military's calling self.
