Summary
Description Royal Navy Wildcat Helicopter MOD 45158434.jpg |
English:
A Wildcat helicopter HMA Mk2 of 700(W) Naval Air Squadron conducting flying trials near HMS Monmouth off the South coast of the UK.
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.
