The Wildcat, the Royal Navy's latest generation multi-role helicopter, possesses remarkable similarities to its predecessor while surpassing it in numerous ways. With considerably more powerful engines and an enhanced tail rotor system, this aircraft boasts improved capabilities. Its cabin has been upgraded with state-of-the-art cockpit instruments, advanced communications systems, and cutting-edge targeting technology.
