some specifications please.

The helicopter may be fitted with a ‘fly-by-wire‘ (FBW) control system, and a modern glass cockpit with multifunctional display (MFD) screens. The helicopter crew may also be equipped with a helmet-mounted sight (HMS) for head-up display of information and weapon control. A sensor suite is located in the nose of the helicopter, possibly consisting of television and forward looking infrared (FLIR) sensors. The helicopter’s electronic warfare suite consists of radar warning receiver (RWR), laser warning receiver, infrared jammer and chaff and flare decoy dispensers.

Fixed weapon onboard the WZ-10 includes a cannon installed in the chin of the helicopter. Two stub wings provide four stores stations for external ordinance. China is currently developing a new HJ-10 anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), which was said to be comparable to the U.S. AGM-114 Hellfire. In addition, the helicopter could also carry TY-90 air-to-air missiles and unguided rocket launcher pods

The helicopter is expected to enter PLA service FEW DAYS AGOhttp://img.fyjs.cn/Mon_1101/26_66_9d5daf41e7bcbec.jpg

How does it compare payload-wise with Appache, Super Cobra, Havoc and the likes.

so um, how does it differ from: Rooivalk, Mangusta, Apache, Havoc, Hokum?

Anything on length, height, rotor dia, loaded/empty weight, range, engine etc.?

I think FBW, MFDs, HMD/HMS etc. are more certainty than a may be for a heli entering in 2010s...

copy??:mad:
it is a long jouney to make the helicppter:mad:
we are the evidence
can you make a J20 with the way of that?

copy???
how do you think some works in plan and push it into the sky ?

Well do you have any figures for the Helicopter, or are the photos about as detailed as we will get?

They must have something on Chinese military forums on engine and overall measurements-length, dia of rotors, weights etc.

Well, strong influence of the A129 cannot be ignored but I think it's OK to get inspired if you do something for the first time.
I like this one very much, unlike J-10 or J-20, this design is very aesthetically apalling to me.. Would not mind having one like that parked on my backyard ;)

Judging by the LH nomenclature, this one is a series example?

The turbine exhausts towards the side which is vulnerable to IR manpads. Is that a DIRCM on the engine cowling?

you have to be fair and say it looks a bit like Tiger (in the faceting) a bit like Mangusta in the general shape and a bit like the Havoc in the engine and rotor department.

But thats to be expected, because they all are good designs for this job.

It looks a little stealthy though eh? and i too query the exhaust IR signature.

IR diffusers/suppressors would definitely be fitted on service helos. Those exhausts as is are screaming out for a visit from a Stinger/RBS-70/Mistral type MANPAD.

Looks like a mish mash of several attack helos and the length looks closer to Rooivalk rather than Tiger or Mangusta.The stub wings appear quite large.The exhausts are open invitation for manpads but probably will get a IR suppressor.

i would say there are elements of Comanche in the fuselage design if you look at the second image posted by Deino (although obviously the RCS goals were totally different)
