Z-20 (all variants) thread

Based on the pics of the flatbed truck you can tell by how far the rear wheel is positioned.

I still question that one, especially after that Apache mock up. The Apache has a tail wheel at the very end of the tail spar like that truck unit had. I now suspect that covered object was the apache model or one like it.

I don't think that was an Apache because that was a mock-up and they don't seem to cover-up the mock-ups.

To which I point at the overcast skies of the photos, and state they might have if it was likely to be raining. In either case were both making conjectures.

It is RC model helicopter made by A2pro, you can check on their website for more pictures.

Edit: I am referring to the latest photo of flying blackhawk...

Black hawk for comparison

Is black the new "new" in China? That looks nice if it's the Z-20 even if it's very similar to the Blackhawk.

Five rotors.

Looks like its legit.

the rear landing wheel is slightly more aft compared to blackhawk, and the cabin area seems a little longer as well (i.e.: note the under fuselage "bulge" as it leads to the tail, which is more prominent than the Blackhawk family). Different canopy framing too, slight different nose geometry.


Now for a higher res photo.

Nifty. 20001. This definitely looks like a S-70. Do we have any rumored specs on this class? No stealth shaping as previously rumored ..

I wonder what engines this Z-20 flew with. It'd only be for naught if flew with S-70's engines or those PWC engines, however those use for Z-9 are underpowered for Z-20, same if those use for Z-8...but if the answer is "none of the above", could it be that the new WZ-16 engine is ready?
