The Zhi-18 early warning helicopter (also known as the early warning helicopter) and the anti-submarine helicopter were both displayed publicly for the first time. They are very important carrier-based aircraft for the Shandong aircraft carrier, one responsible for the formation's early warning mission, mainly to cover low-altitude blind spots; the other is responsible for the formation's anti-submarine mission.
The body of the Zhi-18 has been significantly improved, with a new engine, and the rear upper part is similar to the Zhi-8G. A satellite communication antenna is installed on the front upper part of the tail beam connected to the fuselage. Theoretically, no matter where it flies, there is no need to worry about communication issues.
