Re: PLAAF new JH-XX / H-X bomber soncepts

Not sure if I already posted but in mind of these two manupulated images, a closer comparison show that that this "thing" can't be that long as assumed by the first image or even these CG's since in the second image the persion stands clearly in front of it ... and not under (see not modified/psed part above that person).

So even if I like these CG's very much whatever we are looking at - if there is ever anything - it is at least shorter than expected.

How is it known that the men were standing in front of the plane's nose rather than in front of the plane itself, relative to the camera?

I don't know but at least since in the second image there's nothing "above" that man - regardless if he's under of in front of that thing - means (at least for me !) that in the manupulated first image it is simply something added to assume that thing is longer.

That could be possible, but it would entail the person who doctored the photo also had also whitened/pixelated the spaces between the individuals standing along the aircraft's length, to completely remove parts of the aircraft

Unfortunately we have no sense of scale in this photo which may otherwise shed light. Gotta give props to the guy for dotting his i's and crossing his t's to make even the size of this aircraft under dispute.

Or maybe it was just a mistake on his part.

Or maybe this entire thing is just a conniving hoax.

that design doesnt do radar stealth well, both from the front and from the sides. i would hope thtat is someone's bad fan work.

Re: PLAAF new JH-XX / H-X bomber soncepts

Mostly agree with the above, but I'm not completely sold on the J-20 has long legs argument, simply because we don't know whether a greater volume translates to more range without knowing how efficient the WS-15s will be. I'm pretty sure the PLAAF still hasn't decided on the J-21/31 for the precisely the reasons mentioned above.

China could buy ToT for the NK-25 as a stop gap measure, considering that it's forty+ year old technology (Xian did get RR Spey tech, after all).

Oh no... aerodynamically, the top view is so not right, so awkward. :mad:

I hope it's just a fanboy artwork and has nothing to do with the JH-XX. If it exists, that is.

I like the overall configuration but needs better edge alignment and shaping. For some reason they stuck a circle in the middle too

I know for a second there I thought it was just a close up view like a magnifying glass.
