E-2B Hawkeye
The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an American all-weather, carrier-capable tactical airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft. This twin-turboprop aircraft was designed and developed during the late 1950s and early 1960s by the Grumman Aircraft Company for the United States Navy as a replacement for the earlier, piston-engined E-1 Tracer, which was rapidly becoming obsolete.
The E-2 also received the nickname "Super Fudd" because it replaced the WF (later E-1) "Willy Fudd". In recent decades, the E-2 has been commonly referred to as the "Hummer" because of the distinctive sounds of its turboprop engines, quite unlike that of turbojet and turbofan jet engines.
notes:
very gud AEW, smol and one of its kind
unlike the other AEWs during its era, this was the first one designed for such role
i like AEW
yes, literal radar in the sky, i mean satelites also count, so ill count it in
updates made:
- Updated model (includes fuselage reshaping, added yaw surface control and new flaps) to match B variant
- Updated interior, added cockpit interior
- Updated livery, now matches the VAW-185
livery (idk i think it is)
controls:
Standard Aircrafts Control
AG1: Engine 1
AG2: Engine 2

ayo thank you for silvah
just a few thousand more and we can get to gold
@Numbers2 oh yeah thats why i thought something wrong when im making the rudders
also i didnt notice the ailerons were incorrect
@foury2 you've done a great Job but 2 things to note... the right aileron is incorrect as it mimics the left side when you turn and the other thing is the E2 doesn't have a rudder on the left inner vertical stabiliser
b-17
@DJRianGamerYT yes
but put some catapult connector if you wish to catapult it
Can it land on aircraft carrier?
@MrCOPTY technically saying, yes they do look the same
@ThomasRoderick yes. Therefore, it's just an:
E
(Jokes aside, yes I know the difference between C-2 and E-2)
@ThomasRoderick understandable
@MrCOPTY
@foury2
Nvm, just checked the technical drawings, the C-2 had a shorter nose and a flatter ventral fuselage. The domeless E-2 is most likely this one, in which an E-2D had its radome damaged by hail and was flown from its home base to another base for radome replacement.
@foury2 are these looks the same for u?
Literal AC-130 when
@MrCOPTY nope, its literally just a widened E-2 without a radome
plus a cargo ramp
@ThomasRoderick i thought that C-2 uses a different fuselage?
(They share the most of other parts)
Bruh all good builds comes at the same time, i ran out of spotlights 😭
I saw a radome-less E-2 Hawkeye on Instagram months ago. So it's simply just:
E
@Rb2h e yes
im the type of guy that changes their pfp to everything but their main fandom
@foury2 You just changed ur pfp lol
@Rb2h nice, now enjoy this build until its last bit
oh my got here instantly
