Zhi -8 helicopter is a multi-purpose helicopter with single rotor and tail rotor. In the standard state, it has large power reserve, good flight performance, long service life, safe flight, simple operation and convenient use and maintenance, and can take off and land on water in an emergency. There are many modifications of Zhi -8, which is equipped with China Air Force, Navy and Civil Aviation Department.

2. Zhi -9 series Zhi -9 Zhi -9 is a dual-engine light multi-purpose helicopter developed and produced by Hafei with the French SA-365N "Dolphin" patent. /kloc-0 officially introduced the patented production in June, 1980, and1June, 1982, the first straight -9 helicopter went off the assembly line. ?

It is used for personnel transportation, maritime support, maritime rescue, aerial photography, maritime patrol, fish observation, forest protection and fire prevention, etc. , and can be used as carrier aircraft. Military applications include reconnaissance, close fire support, anti-tank, search and rescue, anti-submarine, reconnaissance and artillery correction, and communication.

3. Zhi-1 1 Zhi-1 1 is the first light helicopter with independent intellectual property rights designed and developed by China. The reference prototype of Zhi-1 1 is AS350 helicopter multi-purpose light helicopter developed by Eurocopter France Branch (formerly French Aerospace Company).

It is mainly used for combat tasks such as coaching, communication, liaison, ambulance and border patrol. This machine passed the national technical appraisal on 1996 and passed the test in 2000. It has been delivered in mass production.

4. Mi -8/ 17 "Hippo" helicopter Mi -8 multipurpose (NATO code name "Hippo") was developed by Miri Moscow Helicopter Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and produced by Kazan Aircraft Factory, which can be competent for various military or civilian tasks. Counting its advanced and improved Mi-14 and Mi-17, Mi -8 series is the largest helicopter production family in the world.

Mi -8 is a large helicopter with two engines, five blades and a rotor. 1964m -8 military and civilian models were put into production at the same time. Mi-17 "Hippo" helicopter is a successor model improved from Mi -8 "Hippo", which is oriented to civil and export markets. The prototype adopts the basic fuselage structure of Mi -8 and the power plant and pneumatic system of Mi-14.

5.s-70 China Black Hawk Helicopter China signed a contract with Sikorsky Company of the United States to purchase 24 S-70 Black Hawk helicopters in July 1984+065438, and the first batch of 4 Black Hawks arrived in Tianjin, China. S-70 is the only American-made equipment known to the public in the PLA sequence, and it is also the helicopter with the best plateau performance owned by the PLA so far.

Before the introduction of Black Hawk, China's army did not use helicopters at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. China's S-70 is slightly different from the US Army's standard UH-60 to meet the needs of plateau use.

China's S-70 adopts T700-70 1A engine, with increased thrust and improved rotor brake, and the upper main reducer housing of SH-60 is used. LTN3 100VLF navigation system is used to replace the standard Doppler navigation system of the US military. A variety of advanced materials, including 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, are selected for the fuselage, and the shooting window and machine gun base on the fuselage are also optimized, with ideal bearing capacity.

6.EC/HC-120 multi-purpose light helicopter HC 120 helicopter was originally named EC 120, which was jointly developed by China, France and New Zealand. It is one of the most advanced light multi-purpose helicopters in the world.

So far, it has been awarded the type certificate by more than 30 countries and institutions, including the European Aviation Administration, the United States, China and French, and delivered more than 400 aircraft to 38 countries. In China, airplanes are made by Hafei. In this project, Eurocopter owns 665,438+0%, CATIC owns 24% and Staro owns 65,438+05%.

7. The French "Little Antelope" helicopter gunship SA341342 "Little Antelope" light helicopter was jointly developed by the former French Aerospace Company (now Eurocopter France Branch) and the British westland Helicopter Company.

8. Wuzhi-10 Armed Helicopter Wuzhi-10 is a new generation of professional armed helicopter of China People's Liberation Army, which was developed by China Helicopter Research and Development Institute of Changhe Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. and designed by Harbin Aircraft Company.

The short wings of weapons on both sides of Wuzhi-10 can mount anti-tank missiles and air-to-air missiles, and are equipped with rotating turrets. The tandem two-seat design conforms to the main characteristics of western professional armed helicopters.

9. Wuzhi-19 Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter Wuzhi-19 (code: WZ- 19) is an armed helicopter and reconnaissance helicopter developed, developed and produced by AVIC Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Company and 602 Helicopter Research Institute. Based on straight 9, H4 10A, H425 and H450.

The design of Wuzhi-19 originated from Zhi -9W, and adopted the typical features of armed helicopters, such as tandem cockpit layout, four-leaf composite rotor, ducted tail rotor, four external weapon external points and rear three-point landing gear.

10, AS332 "super puma" medium transport helicopter AS332B 1 can accommodate 23 soldiers.
