ξ working on reengining the Z-8 with Makila 2
ξ discussing power for the China Medium Helicopter/Z-10 utility, transport and attack helicopter
ξ for which Pratt & Whitney Canada has already shipped development engines

Pratt & Whitney
ξ aiming at a market not dissimilar to that of the 15-passenger Bell/Agusta AB139
ξ Agusta has provided much technical assistance on the Chinese Medium Helicopter's rotor and transmission

Rolls-Royce
ξ signed an agreement to explore powering a twin-engined version of the Z-11
ξ this would use two RR Model 250-C20 engines combined with a Soloy gearbox in a twin-pack
ξ that is already marketed for converting the single-engined Eurocopter AS 350 into a twin

Sikorsky
