The WZ-19 new Chinese attack helicopter are used primarily to attack tanks and other heavy white. The new Harbin / AVIC WZ-19 attack helicopters helicopter is based on Z-9W attack anti-armor, which in turn is derived from building permit AS-365N. The WZ-19 engines used (WoZhou WZ8A?), The fuselage of the rotor, aft tail section (including Fenestron tail rotor) with slight modifications of H425 [a recent update of the variants of the Z-9] swhich speed development. Unlike the Z-9W, which was basically a helicopter armed bodied utility, the WZ-19 features a new narrow-body sent to the compact tandem arrangement similar to that of the other helicopters such as Z- 10, T TAI / Agusta Westland -129, AH-1Z Viper, AH-64 Apache, Eurocopter Tiger, Mil Mi-28 helicopter gunships and HAL Light.
The WZ-19 narrow-body has a forward and a tandem cockpit design similar to the Z-10, but with the seat reversed - the pilot sitting in the front seat and the gunner in the back seat. The crew are protected by armor plate, seats withstand shocks and front landing gear retractable. It also has a Z-style nose-mounted EO 9WA (FLIR, TV and laser rangefinder) with weaponry that is in the canon of 30 mm on the chin turret. The helicopter can also carry air-to-air and air-ground weapon package similar to that of Z-9WA in a pair of stubby wings, including ATGM KD-8, PL-90 AAMs and gun pods and 23 lanchers mm rocket.
The WZ-19 helicopter has a toke weight 4,500 kg, 2,350 kg empty weight, maximum cruise speed of 245 kmh [about 150 miles per hour], the maximum rate up to 9 m / s [more than 1. 500 ft / min], range of 700 kilometers [450 miles], on the ceiling (out of ground effect) 2,400 m, the resistance of three hours. Exhaust ports help reduce the use of design of the infrared signal.
