Are You sure that it is a CG ???
The original image says it was shot by Weimeng - quite a reliable photographer - and as such IMO it's simply a foto of a Blackhawk, nothing more, nothing less.

Fair point, if it was indeed shot by weimeng then it's probably just a blackhawk.
But it's probably not a PLA blackhawk and it's definitely not Z-20.
Some nice - albeit speculative - images and illustartions of the Z-20 !

i do believe any possible naval z20 variant will have a bigger and sturdier aft landing gear than one in the drawing. possibly even with twin wheels. plus, i'm not sure the artist purpusefully drew the point where the tail folds. that simple vertical line near the end of tail doesn't seem like that's it. of course, it's virtually impossible any naval z20 variant would not feature a folding tail.

The top silhouette is a Ch53 I think the maker was trying to show competitor air frames.
As to the Tail Wheel it's a question of location based on structural strength and hinging. Sea hawk places it's tail wheel because the Tail folds. if the PLAN wants Z20 and if they choose to make a folding tail that's when we will see where they place it.
