just a naive question,why do chinese copy?
Why bother redesigning something tried and proven...when you have to catch up to the adversary super fast, you may not have the luxury of time to conduct your own R&D...China did exactly that.

It's their payback on the rest of the world for copying Chinese food.


But on a serious note, from wikipedia. Seems they improved the Black Hawk design.

"While the Z-20 bears a strong resemblance to the S-70/UH-60 Black Hawk series, there are several key differences including a five-bladed main rotor and more angular tail-to-fuselage joint frame, giving it greater lift, cabin capacity, and endurance than the Black Hawk, as well as a fly-by-wire design. It also has fairings installed aft of the engine exhausts and on the tail spine, which are likely housings for satellite communications or the BeiDou satellite navigation system. The Z-20 is believed to be powered by the domestic WZ-10 turboshaft engine providing 1,600 kW (about 2,145 shp), compared to the latest GE T700-701D engine that produces 1,500 kW (about 2,011 shp). These features enable it to conduct operations at altitudes up to 4,000 m (13,200 ft).[8]"
