That's a good question, and everybody that uses that jamming equipment they say that the hairs on their skin stand up what they can feel the electrical charge
@@Dra741 I have served at sea in the Navy and have been exposed to the same radar/radio emissions. If you ask most sailors I served with we have all had female children. The vast majority have had girls. 🤷🏻♂️
We’ll, I can tell you there’s mesh around the three porthole windows in back, and I was always told there was some kind of protective mesh material inside the fuselage. So in back I always felt we were well protected. I did always wonder about the pilots up front. I was an enlisted aircrewman in the E2-C and made hundreds of flights off and on the America 1975 to 1978. Still healthy 45 years later.
Smith: Turboprops are more fuel efficient at lower altitudes and lower airspeeds. The E-2 does not need to go anywhere and it doesn't need to go fast nor high. Turboprops are ideal for that mission.
Fuel consumption, more reliable and if you noted this isn't a fighter, it is used for surveillance so lower speeds allows to better survey the sky than if it was above 1300kms/h
Cuts costs to buy, operate, and is stronger and more durable. Notice how all of these bush and hard-core frontier planes are turboprop, they don't need to fly high so they just need to be strong.
My guess is that it is a lightning rod to protect the rotating antenna underneath. If so, it may be a retrofit that is not yet on all the Hawkeyes. Just a guess though.
You're referring to the refueling probe. It is only installed on a few, maybe only this one when this video was made. It will be retrofitted to the rest of the fleet later.
I answered a question above that wasn't asked. I didn't read the question completely. That point above the antenna looks like a blade antenna for communications. My guess would be for satellite comms mainly because it's on top of the radar dome. It would likely not be of any use to communicate with ships or ground-based radios. It could also be an Electronic Sensing Measures (ESM) antenna for passive surveillance. Why some planes have them and others don't is either it's part of a phased update that is being implemented slowly. It could also be a new or updated system that is being evaluated. Only a certain number of planes would have it for the evaluation.
You know, that’s a good question. I was in VAW-124 1975 through 1978, and our domes did not have the little center cone sticking up, but I believe it was VAW123 that did. I don’t think it did a thing as we were all flying the same version (E2-C) with the same capabilities. Maybe an AT from VAW 123 can help answer this.

How is the crew protected from the massive radiation emitted by the dish?
The inside is lined with stuff to keep it out

@@walterrichmond6251 I believe that is called a Faraday Cage.
Does anyone know why the Hawkeye is still using a turbo prop and not jet engines? I’m sure there is a reason.

A “turboprop” is a jet engine that spins a propeller.

@@childish8469 Turboprops have nothing to do with 'being strong". *facepalm*
Why some hawkeye have a point above the radar antenna and others don't?????
