The aircraft has a degree of commonality with its maritime sister and with increased versatility can be fitted for different roles quickly and easily. The Wildcats capability will be a significant advance on that provided by the previous Lynx fleet.
The procurement of the LHTEC CTS800-4N engine was also extended to a number of Lynx Mk9 aircraft resulting in the Lynx Mk9a.
