SİSTEM GENEL BAKIŞI
The Z-20 is China's indigenous medium utility helicopter modeled on the UH-60 Black Hawk concept, designed to replace aging Z-8/SA330 Puma-derived helicopters in PLAGF and PLAN service. The Z-20 serves in assault transport, naval utility, and anti-submarine warfare roles, with a carrier-based variant that folds rotor blades for storage. It represents a major milestone in Chinese rotorcraft self-sufficiency.
TAM BOYUTU GÖRÜNTÜLE
Z-20 - AVIC (Aviation Industry Corporation of China)
AVANTAJLAR
- Modern design optimized for high-altitude operations (Tibet/Xinjiang)

The vertical launch capacity here provides mission flexibility that single-role warships simply cannot match.

Range and payload figures here are impressive but the basing requirements limit operational flexibility considerably.
