The Z-19 Black Tornado Attack Helicopters are mainly used to attack tanks and different significant targets. The new Z-19 attack helicopter is predicated on the Z-9W anti-armor attack helicopter, which it self was derived from the license-built AS-365N. The Z-19 features a new slim forwarded fuselage with tandem compact layout similar to that of the opposite gunship helicopters like Z-10, TAI/Agusta Westland T-129, AH-1Z Viper, AH-64 Apache, Eurocopter Tiger, Mil Mi-28 and HAL lightweight Combat Helicopter.
The Z-19 is lightly armored. Both pilots are seated on crash-resistant seats. This scout and observation helicopter is equipped with a nose-mounted FLIR, TV and laser rangefinder. Secondary task for the Z-19 is to provide fire support. It has four underwing hardpoints and can carry unoperated rocket pods and other weapons, such as TY-90 air-to-air and HJ-8 anti-tank missiles. Helicopter can also carry a podded 23-mm cannon.
