Vincent just posted on CDF this article about how they struggle to meet the quality assurance program of WZ16. Out of 7 sample for compressor component 6 are rejected and only 1 meet the requirement . Until finally they figure it out how to get the component to meet the quality requirement. This show the need for highly skilled labor. any one can translate better please do

Civil aircraft need to have airworthiness, and the first time he knew the word can put together, how to do? He used more than 40 days of self-study monographs, learn to do more than 300 pages PPT script can tell you how hard his heart.

In the party under the leadership of Lan Feng, WZ 16 team mainly composed of young people also after more than 6 years of study and project experience trnasform into a "innovative and pragmatic, rigorous and meticulous, unity and efficiency, play dedication" team.

In the past two years, a number of provinces and municipal and labor model workers have emerged in the project team, and many awards have been given to the industry and provinces. The project management achievements based on team practice won the second prize of management innovation achievements of China's defense science and technology industrial enterprises.

In 2016, The project team also won the National Federation of Trade Unions awarded the "National Pioneer workers." "WZ 16 engine development along the way, Fang Lanfeng putting all the hard work until his hair turn white
"First flight that day, to see the AC352 helicopter turbocharged engine WZ16 power driven by morning fog, firmly broke the shackles of gravity, Fang Lan Feng can feel the excitement . After the success of first flight , he came to the crowd next to the helicopter, the face test pilot, ground and customer leadership on the engine give praise,

He knew that although the first flight to be successful, but for success of the turboshaft 16 engine there is still a long way to go . Facing the challenges of the future, Fang Lan Feng and his team is ready.

Looks pretty good. However, from a purely aesthetic point of view, it has too many side windows. Why does it need that many? No other helicopter except very old soviet ones like the Hip have that many.

looks fine to me. Z-18 is a fairly large helicopter, like 13 tons, and it has a large passenger/cargo bay.

That's in the class of AW101 rather than say UH-60.

Looking at a similar sized military utility/transport variant of AW101, the army Z-18 variant's windows are not too different...

edit: by the way, the Mi-17/hip family are also in the 13 ton class, with a similarly configured and large bay like Z-18 or AW101.
