China needs to make an aircraft that has 4 WS-15 engines, they must do this so they can master supersonic flight with larger aircraft.
H-20 bomber (with H-X, JH-XX)

Yes for sure but even better they must develop a cloaking devise and a warp-drive!
... come on and stay realistic!Sorry? You think they developed the Ws-15 without a roadmap to use 4 of them at once? It’s realistic.Yes for sure but even better they must develop a cloaking devise and a warp-drive!
No, but my point si, it was developed most of all as the J-20's engine and now some here are already speculating on a four engines supersonic-capable JH-YY, which si even more speculative than the two-engined but anyway still speculative JH-XX. As such I think neither we should or they excluded it in certain considerations, but lets let it enter service on the J-20 first, let it mature and then let's talsk about a twin-engined supersonic bomber ...
As such IMO already too many when and what ifs to take a four-engined supersonic design powered by four WS-15s seriously today.
Can someone please verify about this? Looks like a JH-XX project to me.

I think the first photo (blurred and masked) was debunked several months ago as not an aircraft but just some metal racks.
What about the second photo? Seems like the photo was released way back in 2018, but there is no info on what that nose cone is for which aircraft.

We will have to wait for more conclusive photo. Every thing else are speculations. The radome and what could be an air intake or a cockpit without canopy of this particular photo may be from a project the status of which is still unknown.
Allegedly release in 2018 but taken in 2011. From my information it was a mock up and not a real airframe
