Harbin Z-9F

Description


Ambitious Dream, in a Small Airframe

The Z-9F is one of the variants of the Z-9 helicopter, which was developed by AVIC Harbin Aircraft Industry Group through the licensed production and modification of the French "Dauphin" helicopter (SA.365).

Domestic production of this model began in the 1980s, and it has since evolved into various military and civilian versions including gunship, ASW, and SAR platforms. It has become one of the most important helicopter platforms for the Chinese Army Aviation, Naval Aviation, and civilian sectors.

The Z-9F is a shipborne ASW helicopter equipped with a surface search radar and a dipping sonar. In contrast with its predecessor, Z-9C, the Z-9F is capable of carrying both lightweight ASW torpedoes and dipping sonar simultaneously, albeit at the cost of being able to carry only one torpedo.

Z-9 is a very small helicopter, its load capacity is not enough

Does Z-9 platform not use any sonobuoys? Any chance team will make Z-20F since that has sonobuoy plate? Kinda used to US and Soviet style just pop buoys lol

granted the S70 mod should have dipping sonar but doesnt model it i think

@SqnLdr-chuishan, that explains it. I'm unfamiliar with the F model and it was indeed the Z-9C I was thinking of with the two torpedoes. Look forward to it and hoping to see many more PLAN things to come. Thanks again

@Valkyrie Glad you like it, thank you for your support!
The Z-9F is designed to carry both the dipping sonar and ASW torpedo, but due to the low MTOW of the airframe there can only be one torpedo. We plan to model a Z-9C later, for which you would see a more traditional hunter/killer combination, with one dipping sonar aircraft without torpedo and one with two torpedoes but without sonar.

Great work as always. Question, why the choice on only one torpedo? Is it for balance? As the Z-9 should be able to carry two. Thanks

@s.bordelais1 J'ai posé la question sur le discord et ils vont le faire mais pas de suite
