H-20 bomber (with H-X, JH-XX)
- Thread starter Deino
- Start date
If that JH-XX by Shenyang is a true fighter-bomber instead of a pure 6th-gen fighter, I'm thinking of a max takeoff weight of ~60+ tons for the JH-XX. This is judging by how the large-size, heavy-weight 5th-gen fighters of today are already edging closer to 40 tons of max takeoff weight, hence I do believe that the max takeoff weight of 6th-gen fighters should be well into the 40-ton range, or even approaching/crossing the 50-ton mark.
it is Chengdu Aerospace Corporation that is working on 6th generation fighter jet..
Shenyang is busy with J-35 and JH-XX if this recent rumors are true..

Doesn’t need supercruise, just dash. They can expand the bypass ratio, get more efficiency, and thus range.

well the first part with the question is from me !
Enough speed to retreat rapidly in a dash to diminish interception chances would be nice indeed.
Smaller than a strategic bomber but big enough to have enough range to engage way past the first island chain outward undetected, would cut a lot of movements opportunity from naval forces in the region in the case of confict.
Something that can launch antiship missiles without being detected until launch would be quite a strong deterent.
These are likely only used during takeoff and landing to provide extra lift and not during "stealth mode"
Both, but sir what is ur assessment
nope. it can't be that late. at max H-20 could delay for few years. that too we don't know coz of ultra secrecy.
nobody knows the exact timeline of H-20. but project won't delay for another 10-12 years. LOL
