  1. The H-20 is expected to be a supersonic flying-wing stealth bomber. Its supersonic capability primarily aims to extend the range of air-launched missiles.

Some of us have suspected as much for years, yet the doubters persist.

The video mentioned that the H-20's maximum speed may range between Mach 1.5 to 1.8. Barring unforeseen changes in the future, supersonic capabilities should be a key design goal of the H-20 bomber.

Is that with or without afterburners?

Did the speaker mention anything about supercruise performance?

The speaker said that whether to support supercruise should depend on the cost. If the cost is prohibitively high, there is no need to endorse it, as supersonic technology is primarily used to enable missiles to achieve a longer range.

Actually I don‘t beliefe any such Claims of being a Mach 1.5-1.8 supersonic Flying Wing
Firstly, that channel is just a little too prolific for my taste, they have nearly 730 videos with the oldest only from one year ago. They are either a content factory or randomly grabbing content from elsewhere and indiscriminately reposting for clicks.

Secondly, even if we were to take the channel itself as honest, the guest speaker seems to avoid answering the question at first like he doesn't want to commit to a concrete answer before he finally spits out the 1.5-1.8 numbers. If I were talking to someone who answered my questions like that in real life, I would think he was lying to me.

Either way, I don't really consider it a reliable source and have no reason to believe they have any kind of actual insight.
