All of the indications we have are that the H-20 will be either a flying-wing like the B-2 or a blended-wing like the X-47B; we shouldn't be trying to find excuses to shoehorn tails or winglets or any other extrusions because people with no credibility insist on adding them to their designs (in this case and in the graphic that appeared at the variety show).

It's good that's not what's happening, then.

I personally think it'd be a little boring to make a B-2 look-alike. I'm hoping it'll be something a little sleeker, stealth almost on par with a batwing design, but performance like a Tu-22M, the world's first supersonic stealth bomber! That'd be something for an entry into the modern bomber world!

Unless there's a significant change in technology and/or a willingness to pay even more for a bomber than they already can, I think any air force seeking a new bomber can only choose two of the below:

Large size
Stealthy
Supersonic

Wanting all three is probably out of the question right now. So if the PLA wanted a stealthy supersonic bomber then it will definitely be smaller than the kind of aircraft H-20 has been rumoured to be (near B-2 sized)

Whoa.

I looked earlier and it showed a J-20 pic.

Maybe I ought to see what was put in my coffee.

My apologies.

No problem, maybe he changed the image or you mixed it with the similar report in the J-20 thread?

Anyone know if this video is an "official" release? It lists the "top 10" highlights of China's aviation industry in 2018 but also drops a few hints regarding the H-20 bomber.
