China reveals its new Z-19E light attack helicopter

China’s light attack helicopter, Z-19E, developed by Harbin Aircraft Industrial Corporation already attracts much attention before the third International Helicopter Exposition held in Tianjin from Sept. 9-13, 2015.

The Z-19E  export version-  Harbin Z-19, also called WZ-19, is a Chinese reconnaissance/attack helicopter developed by Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation (HAMC) for the People’s Liberation Army Air Force and the Ground Force Air Force. It is an improved variant of the Harbin Z-9 and hence a distant cousin of the Eurocopter Dauphin.
