The Z-20 design looks vaguely familiar... can't quite put my finger on it.

True to the Chinese business brand. If you design it, it’s theirs.

Right, can’t believe we copied them for the H-60 Seahawks.

A couple more photos of that possible Chengdu J-36 aircraft: three engines, side-by-side crew seating, quite large. This may very well be a photo of a model. Grain of salt is in order...

The three engines still makes me scratch my head a bit.
