Summary

edit
Description
English: A Royal Navy Wildcat helicopterfrom 825 Naval Air Squadron (NAS) in flight over the English Channel.

Wildcat is the latest generation of multi role helicopter specifically procured to operate from the Frigates and Destroyers of the Royal Navy.

Wildcat takes the very best features of the existing Fleet Air Arm Lynx – and gives it extra punch.

The Lynx Wildcat (rather than just plain Wildcat to avoid confusion with the legendary WW2 Naval fighter) might look like its predecessor – and possess many of its outstanding characteristics, but it will be leaps ahead in so many ways.

The engines are considerably more powerful providing much improved performance when operating in hot environments and at high altitudes.
