The Hawk T2 cockpit is designed to be representative of the Eurofighter and other 4th Gen types. For 5th Gen, the MFD-cockpit can be replaced by a large area display that was developed for the Indians and which I believe the Finns are taking up as they transition to the F-35. What else would make an improved version of the Hawk unsuitable?
