Z-20 Utility Helicopter News & Discussions

I don't see any NH 90 characteristics.

You want improvements go for this.

Don't the Chinese have any concepts of the tilt rotor version?

Great, now we can replace our 100s of US built copters too. Pakistan should throw the hat in for local production to replace our aging Bells and MIs.

May be in next 10 years time unless Chinese fellows produce the block-II earlier than that.

If someone invented an umbrella, Chinese don't need to re-invent it but make improvements. That is also an innovative process.

Chinese defense toys won't work against USA or western countries, because of their cheap copied designs.

Notable Differences so far:

- 5 blades instead of 4
- Back landing wheel is more aft
- Slightly different nose geometry
- A protrude at the nose (possibly sensors)
- Slightly thinner tail-boom/bigger fuselage (this can be seen by the slight bulge at the aft fuselage as opposed to the flat belly of the blackhawk)
- Bigger tail-fins
- Different wind-shields/cockpit


And this is my personal opinion: the Z-20 looks bigger than the Blackhawk (which justifies the need for one more rotor blade). We'll have to wait for a more clear picture to be sure of the details.

Eventually in future PA might replace Bell 412s with something like these, it makes sense we should slowly get rid of US equipment if not all and start in house certain components development and china can give you license to manufacture certain spares/components.

@Luftwaffe

Lets start ATAK production to gain experiance. We can have Z-20 local production with upgrades later. Less US equipment means more freedom and higher capability to fight wars.

Exactly! we are not completely out of funds sure we can't invest a billion even $500m but small investments around $30-40m is a good start with both Turkey and China...No worries i am confident regarding these good local development of gunships/transport helicopters and transport aircrafts in China and Turkey that can really get us out of dependence on the west post 2025+ means in the long run local industry and jobs and independence to integrate and develop.

 

[Beidou2020]

Most important thing for any country is to reduce its dependence on the west for everything especially defence equipment.

Anyone buying western weapons will lose their independent foreign policy.

Best thing that ever happened to China was that we were banned from buying western weapons.

Blessing in disguise.

 

[Gessler]

This is better than the Blackhawk.

Why do you say that?
