What's the line on the H-20 leaked shot again? That was a photoshop, right?
The line was because the image is perfectly cemetrical. Indicating a doctored image either CGI ( my bet) or a half model. It was the mirrored to create a complete image.

Global times is a tabloid though. Xinhua is more official I would imagine.

Well we're not really talking about global times' credibility so much as the CCTV segment's credibility.

The global times article is obviously written by someone who doesn't know much, choosing to quote a source of poor credibility (Russian Gazette??) and someone with slightly more credibility (Mr Song). So we're not assessing global times credibilty at all, rather it's more the CCTV segment and Mr Song's credibility (or rather his logical process), and both seem fine to me and Mr Song's conclusion jives with what we know about H-20's development so far

A CGI.

I.e.: that it obviously wasn't a real photo, but it wasn't doctored from the Northrop superbowl ad either.

Whether the shot was real or not was not as important so much as the fact that they were cleared to even suggest that there was a new bomber to emerge in the near future with a visual suggestion that it would be a flying wing.

You mean this one?

If you look closely at it, it's not. The thing I'm wondering about for the H-20 is the sensor suite; if it's larger than the J-20, it can also employ better EODAS; i.e, it can function as an EO AEW&C just as much as a B-21 can, and if it supercruises, it can keep up with the J-20s.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the XAC video (see Deino's post above)

That photo isn't even a "leaked shot" it's clearly a shot of an H-6K from a CCTV program that was photoshopped.

When you said "leaked shot" I thought it meant a shot with any semblance of credibility or connection to the real thing, and that PSed H-6 is obviously just a fan made photo and a pretty poor one at that.



I'm not sure why you believe H-20 will have a chance at supercruising, it's pretty much a done deal at this point that it'll be a subsonic flying wing.

Come on ??? You really think it is REAL???

That is a well known faked image - and IMO not even a good one. So any conclusions about its sensor suite or its functions are either simply logical due to the nature of such a surely larger aircraft or by what we know so far or it is impossible to conclude ... at least from a faked image.

But why you think a stealthy flying wing should be able to supercruise is even more beyond me .... o_O
