Naval Rotary UAV
- Thread starter Interstellar

No.
First of all, this isn't a stealth helicopter. It's a naval rotary UAV, which may or may not have a few RCS reduction features.
Second, manned 10 ton and 13 ton helicopters like Z-20 and Z-8 family respectively, are in a completely different weight class to the naval rotary UAV mockup we see and occupy entirely different roles. A naval rotary UAV of the size we see cannot do the roles that the manned helicopters do.
Third, why do you think the production rate of naval helicopters (Z-20 and Z-8 family in particular) is related to anything other than the development cycle of new choppers + high demand for helicopters in china and the PLA overall?
A very small image from a different angle.
Is that two mockups of the naval UAV? Neat

looks like China is pouring resources into unmanned systems
Type 075 will have unmanned rotary and Type 076 UCAV
really its the future
bit like 5G, 3D printing, Artificial intelligence and even outer space
China has put the right resources into them at the right time and now leads the Western world in these technologies
I think its right direction

All the mockups at pier side, including the rotary UAV.
what's is the point for these mockups on the ship at the building stage?
You can try to model (in a computer simulation) ships and their aircraft all you want. But working with the aircraft, with people, groundcrew, aircrew, etc, is very difficult. So doing this during the build phase allows you to make small build changes and it also allows you to change how the crew operates.
