On Dec. 23, at 14.11 Local Time, Chinese medium lift utility helicopter dubbed Z-20 made its first flight. As the image (published on a Chinese Internet website and then made available by Alert5) shows, the chopper is clearly based on the U.S. Black Hawk type (China operates 24 Black Hawk procured in 1983 as S-70C-2). Still, it features some peculiar things: the 5-blade rotor, a larger cabin and a different landing gear and tail. Z-20 is believed to be a 10-ton chopper that will be used to replace Mi-17 and Mi-171 helos within People's Liberation Army. Image via Alert5
