Harbin Z-9 is a licensed version of the French Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin helicopter. The first serial series of this helicopter were created with considerable help from the French and with the use of many foreign components, but with the Z-9B version the situation changed quite significantly - many more elements of domestic production began to be used. Small structural changes were also made, including a change in the design of the fenestron on the tail beam. In the course of production, several modifications of this helicopter were created, for example: Z-9B (multi-role version intended for the Chinese army), Z-9C (marine version intended for the Navy) or Z-9EC (marine version intended for Pakistan).< /p>
