Very little useful detail shown, engine has no filter intake and no IR suppression exhaust. And why still no debut of the Z-20?

 

[Totoro]

Z20 is still in testing. Stuff like filters and suppressors can be added if deemed needed, just like some UH60 have them, and some don't.

When we compare it with Z10 development and testing time - Z20 is still doing okay.

Z-20 completed high altitude flight test at 3 airports with altitudes of 1k, 3k, 4k respectively, Photo taken at Xiahe airport (alt: 3189m).
It mean they have respectable engine

beat me by a second to it ...

What engine is the Z-20 using? I suppose it must be a powerful one to operate at such high altitudes ... perhaps the 1600kW WZ-10 turbo-shaft? Regardless, a great chopper to use against the Indians at such high altitudes ... seems tailor suited for countering them.

Oh, come on ... are such posts necessary?

Operating at 4000m? Hope the pilots brought their oxygen masks...

I wouldn't say the Su-27 is a copy of the F-15, that's a bridge too far, but I would say the J-11 is a copy of the Su-27. However, "Copysu" doesn't roll off the tongue as well as "Copyhawk.", Nevertheless, the J-11 is reversed engineering product of the Su-27, with Chinese characteristics, and the Z-20 is likely the same with the S-70.

The difference between the J-11 and the Z-20 is that the J-11 is basically identical in its outward appearance to the Flanker. Not the case with the Z-10.

The engines of the Z-20 helicopter prototypes are unfortunately not known. Most likely, however, these are the PT6C-67C Canadian engines or the Chinese WZ-9 engines, the engines that power the Z-10 helicopter series.

However, the Z-20 will likely be powered by WZ-10, WZ-11 (Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67) or WZ-16 (a Turbomeca Most likely, however, these are the Canadian PT6C-67C engines or WZ-9 Chinese engines, which are engines that propel the Z-10 helicopter series.However, the Z-20 will likely be powered by WZ-10, WZ-11 (Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67) or WZ-10. 16 (a Turbomeca Most likely, but on Chinese type PT6C-67C or WZ-9 Chinese engine type engines, ie engines that power the Z-10 Serial Z-20 series combat helicopters, however, will likely result in the WZ-10 WZ-11 engines (derived type Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67) or the WZ-16 (Turbomeca Ardiden derived type
