The Advanced Heavy Lifter is a large helicopter project developed by Aviation Industry Corporation of China.

In 2009, Avic projected a 30 t (66,000 lb) civil Advanced Heavy Lifter (AHL), likely also useful to the Chinese military.

In 2015, the joint project with Russian Helicopters grew to 38.2 t (84,000 lb), with a seven blade main rotor and a 5,700 m (18,700 ft) ceiling.

AVIC targets a range of 800 km (432 nmi), a cruise of 270 km/h (146 kn) and a 6,000 m (20,000 ft) ceiling.

Design targets are closer to the Sikorsky CH-53K than the 56 t (123,000 lb) MTOW Russian Mil Mi-26.
