A Royal Navy Wildcat helicopterfrom 825 Naval Air Squadron (NAS) in flight over the English Channel.
<p>Wildcat is the latest generation of multi role helicopter specifically procured to operate from the Frigates and Destroyers of the Royal Navy.
</p><p>Wildcat takes the very best features of the existing Fleet Air Arm Lynx – and gives it extra punch.
</p><p>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.
</p><p>The engines are considerably more powerful providing much improved performance when operating in hot environments and at high altitudes.
