SH-5
First flown in April 1976, the Harbin SH-5 four-turboprop maritime-patrol amphibian incorporates a tail-mounted magnetic-anomaly detector, nose radar and dorsal gun turret. The SH-5 did not enter service with the Chinese navy until mid-1986, and only in limited numbers. Powered by four 2,350kW Dongan WJ5A turboprops, the aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 45,000kg. Four underwing hardpoints can carry a mixture of anti-ship missiles or anti-submarine ordnance. At least one version can scoop water. The SH-5 is believed to be the focus of potential ASW and avionics upgrades.
Y-12
A development of the earlier piston-powered Y-11, the Y-12 twin-turboprop utility aircraft has an enlarged cabin to accommodate up to 17 passengers.
Pratt &Whitney Canada concluded an agreement in 1986 to provide PT6A engines for the aircraft.
