The new Z-10A sports a redesigned nose, reduction in weight and powered by the upgraded WZ-9 turboshaft twin engine (notice the twin 90 degree upwarded engine exhaust port). The original twin Pratt & Whitney PT6C-76C turboshaft engine equipped Z-10 prototype is rumored to be underpowered.

The new look looks a lot like the Augusta A129 Mangusta.
If the Z-10 does use WZ-9 then it would be a huge boost to China's helicopter industry.
Eric,
Indeed, but lets wait and see.
