Eurocopter EC175 - Variants

Variants

EC175

Aircraft produced by Eurocopter for the European, American and international markets.

Z-15

Aircraft produced by HAIB for Chinese operators. The People's Liberation Army also plans to take delivery of the Z-15 in the next decade to replace much of their existing fleet (older Mil Mi-8, Sikorsky S-70, Harbin Z-8 and Harbin Z-9). The Z-15's performance and ruggedness will probably be improved, if it goes into PLA service. In March 1999, Agusta announced that it had signed a US$30 million initial contract with AVIC II and CATIC to develop the gear box and transmission components for the CMH.
