Red Arrows (perform) (1)

Here is the main piece of any Farnborough International Airshow year the Red Arrows, consisting of 9 Hawk T.1 Trainer Aircraft they put on a stunning show for the crowds, visitors and spectators alike with smoke coming out in red, white and blue.

The colored smoke is made from color dyed diesel which is fed from 3 separate tanks, 1 for white, 1 for red and 1 for blue all housed in a special pod beneath the central fuselage and turned to vapour by the heat blast of the thruster when fed through a feed pipe leading from the respective tank to the thruster.

And so as you can gather these Hawks have been modified to suit the needs of the team.
