The only comment I could have on this is BIG LIE!

Just think how advance China's technology is at this stage! Cruising at mach 2? Yes, a Concord could do that, but it's retired. Max speed over mach 4? Up to now, not any operational aircraft in the world can do that yet, even the retired SR-71 which was considered as the fastest operational aircraft could reach mach 3+ only. So, how can we believe that China is developing a aircraft of top speed over mach 4! WS-19? Never heard about that!

The Australians think that many chinese bombers will be converted to air tankers in order to support strike fighers like the Flanker and a smaller fleet of whatever new bombers that china can buy/build. It makes sense. You can load up a plane with a full warload and get it off the ground on a partial gas tank, then refuel in the air to get maximum range.

2007年1月5日14时55分，随着某重点型号飞机腾空而起，这一刻成为载入西飞、乃至中国飞机发展 史册的一个永恒的瞬间。2万多西飞人13年的期盼凝聚在这一刻：某重点型号飞机首飞圆满成功！ 　　掌声与鲜花、笑语与自豪装点着冬日暖阳照耀下的机场。中央军委首长、空军装备部首长、国防科工委领导、 陕西省委副秘书长、西安市副市长、中国一航、中航二集团等单位领导与数百名西飞参研人员共同见证了这激动的 时刻。 　　14时50分，随着首飞仪式主持人、中国一航副总经理李玉海宣布：“首飞开始！”。银灰色的某重点型号 自西向东，穿过观礼台，缓缓滑向跑道。随着优美的滑跑，在一阵轰鸣声中，飞机昂首直刺蓝天，在观礼台前腾空 而起！顿时，全场掌声雷动。人们仰首目送着飞机矫健的身姿融入在碧空之中…… 　　15时06分，飞机再次进入人们的视线，打出的一串彩色信号弹在空中散开、飞舞，飞机开始通场飞行，如 潮的掌声再次响起，激动、自豪洋溢在人们的脸上。 　　15时15分，飞机打开两个白色阻力伞，平稳着陆，减速滑行。经过蓝天洗礼后格外雄壮的飞机，稳稳停在 观礼台前方。至此，某重点型号首飞圆满成功！现场的领导兴致勃勃登上英姿勃发的某重点型号飞机，与机组人员 亲切握手、合影留念。 　　首飞仪式后，西飞集团公司总裁高大成汇报了某重点型号研制过程和体会。中央军委首长、国防科工委领导在 发言中充分肯定了某重点型号研制的重大意义与前期的工作情况，对后续工作提出了希望与要求。一航副总经理李 玉海代表西飞以及各参研单位做了表态发言。 我判断1月5日首飞的是轰九战略轰炸机。理由如下： 1.“中央军委首长、、空军装备部首长、国防科工委领导、陕西省委副秘书长、西安市副市长、中国一航、中航 二集团等单位领导”参加的首飞必须是重量级的重点项目，再加上“这一刻成为载入西飞、乃至中国飞机发展史册 的一个永恒的瞬间。2万多西飞人13年的期盼凝聚在这一刻：某重点型号飞机首飞圆满成功”。大家请注意中国 飞机发展史册的永恒。可想而知它的分量有多重。那末我们看看哪些飞机有这个重量： 1.轰六改：显然旧瓶装新酒承受不了中国飞机发展史册的一个永恒的瞬间。2万多西飞人期盼13年的这一刻， 如果是轰六改的话，那西飞早就没有存在下去的必要了。 2.歼轰七改：也肯定不是。 3.肯定讲首先是一架新机。是不是大家说的飞豹III或者歼轰八呢？13年前立项研制，就是94年，那个时 候飞豹还没有定型，就开始研究飞豹III，歼轰八。我觉得不太现实吧。所以我们肯定讲决不是歼轰机（海军没 有派人），也不是电战机，而是新轰——轰九战略轰炸机。只有它才能当之无愧的承受本文开始时的那些殊荣。请 看06年12月份某红军论坛下面的一个帖子（摘）： “轰-9战略轰炸机:轰-9在95年立项开始预研。该机在无空中加油的情况下，航程可超过8000公里，有空中加油的情况航程超过1 2000公里。该机巡航速度可达2M，突防速度可达到超过4M，载弹量20吨-40吨。该机还有更好的隐身性能。发动机是四台由624所研制的涡扇15A发动机，最大推力为17600公 斤。” 我们想想95年预研，07年首飞，刚好是12年，和前面八股说的13年差不多。即使07年首飞，要定型量产 最起码需要8年，也就是说列装空军也是2015年以后的事了。（歼10 是98年首飞，05年定型列装。F35是06年首飞，2012年量产；而轰炸机更复杂，所以要8年定型差不 多吧）。 再看下面这个帖子： “西安飞机第一设计院603所和沈飞正在联合发展研制最新一代的双座歼击战略轰炸机，该轰炸机航程可达70 00公里。该项目2004年立项，2005年一月中央军委副主席郭伯雄亲自视察，对该型号研制方面取得的成 绩充分肯定并高度评价。这种轰炸机高度机密，中国航空第一集团内部军方视察录像显示，新一代并列双座轰炸机 的模型开始风洞结构试验。 军方一直对双座歼击战略轰炸机有浓厚兴趣，这种飞机集歼击首先轰炸和战略轰炸于一身，用于实施对海上和地面 目标打击，其次是用于空中格斗，因而同时具备了歼轰7-A战斗机的战术格斗性能和轰六轰炸机的远程对海上和地面目标打击能力。 歼轰八战略轰炸机设计要求为驾驶舱可容纳两名驾驶员并坐，采用两台装有矢量喷嘴和加力燃烧AL―31F发动 机国产型，具备战略轰炸能力。经一次空中加油的航程达到7000公里，安装有后视雷达和多功能相控阵雷达， 可以携带国产先进空对空、空对地导弹。歼轰八并未采用前置鸭翼，这和苏―32截然不同，巨大的扁平机头，机 身机翼菱形融合，减少雷达横截面，类似美国的F18E/F大黄蜂。装备新型国产无源相控阵雷达，可发现和同时跟踪X个空中目标，并同时引导空空导弹攻击其中Y个， 具有导航／攻击、地形跟随和地形回避模式，发现驱逐舰类目标的距离为135千米，发现歼击机类目标的距离为 120千米。最大航程4000公里，经空中加油后可达7000公里。设计要求有15个外挂点，可装载8吨武 器。能够携带包括各种先进导弹、激光制导炸弹，以及各种火箭和集束炸弹等。“ 大家看到了，歼轰八2004年立项，我认为是可靠的。因为2003年歼轰七A列装空军，而歼11B也是同年 定型的，说明601所终于吃透了苏27的技术；而603所通过飞豹A的研发也使技术上了一个层次。这个时候 将苏27重型战机和飞豹A的技术整合起来研制中程战术轰炸机就水到渠成。两所合作也合乎清理。这叫1加1大 于2。所以这个帖子我觉得有道理。但04年立项，估计研发成功也是2015年的事了。
at 14:55 on the 5th, january,2007,with a particular focus on models of aircraft soared into the sky, as recorded in the XAC at this moment to fly, China, and even an eternal moment in the development history of the aircraft. XACs 13 years doing,more than 20,000 gather at this moment of hope : a successful maiden flight of a certain key models of aircraft! Flowers and applause, laughter and pride decorating the Winter Sunlight shining with the airport. CMC, head of the Air Force Armament Department of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense leadership of the Shaanxi Provincial CPC Committee, deputy secretary general, vice mayor of Xi'an. China routes, aircraft and other leaders of two groups with hundreds of XAC staff to examine this witness exciting moments. 14:50, with the maiden flight ceremony host, a deputy general manager packer flight announced : "maiden flight began! . " Silver-gray certain key models from west to east, passing through the rostrum, and slowly slid to the runway. With a beautiful roll, a time of roaring sound, the aircraft straight into the blue sky, the ceremony in front of the stage in the sky! Suddenly, they were greeted by thunderous applause. People saw the plane head off into the blue sky among…… doors 15:06. re-entered people's attention, making a series of color signals to disperse in the air, danced in the wind, planes flying start the market. If the applause sounded again, excitement and pride filled in people's faces. 15:15, the aircraft opened two white umbrella resistance, a smooth landing, taxiing slowdown. Particularly after the devastation of the sky amid the aircraft safely parked in front of the rostrum. Thus, key models successful maiden flight! Leading the scene of a key models displaying their skills and talents happily boarded the plane and crew cordially shook hands and posed for pictures. Maiden flight ceremony, the president of Xian Corporation fly tall for a key report on the process of model development and experience. CMC. Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense leadership in the speech fully affirmed the great significance of a certain key models with the preparatory work, Follow-up with the demands of the work. Li Yuhai, deputy general manager of a flight on behalf of all the participating research units and the XAC made a flying position to speak. I judge the maiden flight of the H9-January 5 1992 strategic bombers. The reasons are as follows : 1. "CMC, and the head of the Department of the Air Force equipment, the leadership of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the deputy secretary general of the Shaanxi Provincial CPC Committee, Vice Mayor of Xi'an, a Chinese aircraft, CNAC Group 2 leaders "to participate in the maiden flight of the key projects to be heavyweight, Moreover, "as recorded in the XACs at this moment to fly, China, and even an eternal moment in the development history of the aircraft. XACs 13 years doing ,more than 20,000 gather at this moment of hope : A key model for a successful maiden flight of the aircraft. " Please note the eternal history of the development of China's aircraft. Imagine it has multiple components. Then we look at what is the weight of the aircraft : 1. H6 reform China apparently new wine in old bottles bear an eternal moment in the development history of the aircraft. More than 20,000 XACs Runner expectations of this moment for 13 years, if the trend. Six changed, it does not exist in the XAC need a long flight. 2. : JH7m has certainly not changed. 3. First, a new aircraft for sure. Flying Leopard III is not what we say or JH8? Establishment developed 13 years ago, 94 years, that period of time feibao has not been established, began to research feibao III. JH8. I do not think that is the reality. So, we will certainly say it is not fight-bombers (the Navy did not send), or ASW planes, The new bomber-H9 strategic bombers. In this paper, it can only bear at the beginning of those well-deserved awards. Please see December 06, a Red Army following a message forum (Abstract) : "H -9 strategic bombers : H-9 in 1995, started research establishment. In the case without aerial refueling aircraft, range of over 8,000 km. have more than one aerial refueling range of 2,000 km. 2M cruise speed of the aircraft. penetration rate will reach more than 4M. payload of 20 tons-40 tons. There stealth aircraft better performance. 624 engine is being developed by the four turbofan engines 15A, maximum thrust of 17,600 kg. "We think 95 years research, conducted 07 years, exactly 12 years and preachers said in front of nearly 13 years. Even 07 inaugural flight to stereotypes produce at least eight years. Air Force is also deployed in 2015 after a thing of the past. (Maiden flight of the J-10 is 98 years, 05 years stereotypes deployed. F35 is 06 inaugural flight, the 2012 production; bombers and more complex, so he did not bar stereotypes to eight years). Look at the following articles : "Xi'an Aircraft Design Institute, 603 and the first Fei Shen is fulfilled in developing the latest generation of fighter-bombers. The bomber range of as much as 70 00 km. establishment of the project in 2004. , vice chairman of the Central Military Commission Guo Boxiong himself in January 2005. Development of this type made fully affirmed and highly appreciated the achievements. The bomber highly confidential. China Aviation first internal video inspection of the military, Parallel fulfilled bombers began a new generation of the model wind tunnel tested. The military has a strong interest in the seat, twin engine fighter-bombers. First Set fighter planes bombing and the bombing in one strategy for the implementation of the sea, and ground targets. Second, fighting for air. thus possess the same time fighting the tactical fighter-bombers 7-A performance and H-6 bombers and long-range sea-ground attack capability. JH8 design requirements for strategic bombers can accommodate two pilots and the cockpit to sit Vector compare with two sets of nozzles and domestic combustion engine type vertical tail wing. with strategic bombing capability. After a voyage of 700 km of aerial refueling. After the installation of radar and multi-function phased array radar that can be made to bring advanced air. air-to-surface missiles. Eight pre-bombers did not use duck wings, and the Su-32 is totally different from that enormous flat nose. Diamond integration wing plane, which was to reduce the radar cross-section. F18E/F Hornet similar to the United States. New equipment made passive phased-array radar, X can be found and tracking targets in the air, while air-to-air guided missile attack in which Y is navigation / attack Terrain - following and terrain avoidance mode, the distance between the target class destroyers found 135 km, fighters found the target distance of 120 km categories. a maximum range of 4,000 km, After refueling in the air up to 7,000 km. 15 wings with the design requirements. carrying eight tons of weapons. including advanced missiles capable of carrying laser-guided bombs. , as well as rockets and cluster bombs. "We can see that in 2004 eight-bombers establishment, I think it is reliable. A series of seven since 2003 - bombers equipped with the Air Force and J-11B is the same year the stereotypes, 601 Su-27 shows are finally understand the technology; A leopard adopted by the 603 fly and also developed a technical level. Su-27 fighters and heavy this time of the Flying Leopard A technology integration will come together to develop medium-range tactical bomber. Cooperation in line with the two cleared. Do you think one big plus in two. So I think the message right. But 04-year plans, estimates also successfully developed in 2015 a thing of the past.
my oppinion is below:
In this article,the first section is the news from chinese offical report.I think the oppinion is reasonable,otherwise 20,000 people gather with sciences,CMC, CDTC leader together,having a great celebration.this celebration sould'nt for H-6m.JH-7a or JH7-b. large civilian plane? it's supose to be China 11th project,sould be in next 5 years.
China already have experience to make H6 bomber for 20 years.

The following post is the Google translation of a post by Mike649, at CMF, earlier today. (I apologize if this has previously been posted!)

Air Force stealth bombers mysterious maiden flight in the F-10 fighters held a news conference that day (January 5). China's Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group has a key model plane made a successful maiden flight.

However, the group's report did not make public the type of aircraft, aircraft traffic has been developed to disclose only 13 years old, outside speculated that This aircraft may be new H-6, H-8, it could also be improved feibao Its latest models The legend is FBC-1A or B (or B-bombers 7A), but does not rule out the possibility of a certain type of large aircraft.

According to "fly Group West," said the silver-gray model aircraft, first flight was from west to east, passing through the rostrum. slowly slid to the runway. Aircraft 16 minutes after re-entering people's attention, making a series of color signals to disperse in the air, dancing, aircraft flying start the market. Also nine minutes later, the aircraft opened two white umbrella resistance, a smooth landing, taxiing slowdown. Safely parked in front of the rostrum.

Thus made a successful maiden flight. CMC, the head of the Department of the Air Force equipment, and the Shaanxi Provincial CPC Committee, deputy secretary general of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, vice mayor of Xi'an. China flights, CNAC Group, and other units and two fly hundreds of West Institute participated in the maiden flight ceremony of the Senate. Made a successful maiden flight, the officials boarded the aircraft type scene. Although the news did not disclose the specific type and other relevant information, but many speculate that this outside. This aircraft may be new H-6, H-8, it could also be improved feibao Its latest models The legend is FBC-1A or B (or B-bombers 7A). As reported featuring models fighters for 13 years. China 13 years ago in 1994 and the research has begun to emphasize stealth fighters, therefore, outsiders have speculated that it may be the stealth characteristics of strategic bombers. Given the slowdown need two deceleration parachute landing of aircraft and crew shook hands with the official report disclosed the information to the site, does not rule out the possibility of a certain type of large aircraft.


But some analysts said that the F-14 is not the attention of the outside world. China Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense spokesman Huang Qiang, In 2007 briefing on the 8th session of the scientific and technological industry for national defense, said the situation, China will timely appearance of some sophisticated weapons, the main purpose of doing so is to peace.

Prior to this, China announced by the high-profile F-10 fighter has been regarded as a typical third-generation fighter. and the United States have numerous advantages compared to the F-16 fighter. Xi'an Aircraft Industry (Group) Limited Liability Company (SAC Corporation) is a research, integration of large enterprises in the aviation industry production is the base for the development and production of large and medium-sized military and civilian aircraft. Company covers more than 300 million square meters, more than 20,000 existing workers.

The company has more than 40 years of development of western China, has developed and produced more than 20 types of military and civilian aircraft. Mainly military aircraft "China Feibao", the H-6 Series aircraft. 30 aircraft, of which five planes participated in the 50th anniversary parade.

Primarily civilian aircraft and the Yun-7 series aircraft Boat 60 aircraft. Boat 60 new aircraft which is the first time China has strictly in accordance with international standards of the Department of Design CCAR25. production and flight test aircraft. In the safety, reliability, comfort, economy, maintenance and various other areas have reached or are close to the level of the contemporary world such advanced aircraft Extension. West Group in 1980 to fly with the United States, Canada, Italy, France, Germany, and other aviation products, in cooperation with the world's leading airlines.

Does anyone have some more information on these two bomber and fighter-bomber projects ??? ... the Q-6 was cancelled a long time ago and I didn't know that there would be something under development by Hongdu with such an early firts-flight date ???

Well, this is just speculation, but perhaps Q-6 would be a J-10 adapted for an attack role. The Q-5 was just a derivative of J-6 after all.

发表文章 中国最新轰八重型战略轰炸机试飞内情 2007-01-21　00:36:40 大中小 《转载，来源：西陆军事，仅供参考》 随着第六届珠海航展的落幕，我军的最新型战机--歼-10最终没有露面。但大家只知其一不知其二，同时没有露面的还有我军最新型战略轰炸机--我国已经研究十余年的隐形战略轰炸机--重型轰八巡航导弹轰炸机。其实，常住在西安附近的人们也许早就有一定的体会，每当夜幕降临，总会看到从阎良附近机场起飞的大型飞机，开着红、蓝、绿三色航行灯，在西安附近的天空飞行，那就是我们的新轰八飞机在做例行试飞（区别于同时试飞的轰六飞机的明显特点是飞行速度大大高于轰六飞机）。那么，轰八飞机是一种什么样的飞机呢？轰八飞机都采用了什么样先进的技术呢？ 新轰八战略轰炸机是我国在成功研制FBC-1（即轰七）之后，国家重点发展研制的最新一代隐形轰炸机。该机开始研制的时间大约是在上世纪九十年代中叶，中央给该机的定位是：重型，载弹量不低于18吨，超音速不低于1.2倍，隐形，携载新型巡航导弹能打击北美大陆，航程不低于10000公里，具有空中加油能力。这项研制任务就交由西安飞机设计研究所和西安飞机制造有限公司共同来完成。新轰八飞机主要采用了如下先进的技术和设计： 一，翼身融合的常规气动布局。轰八为什么会采用常规的气动布局？这是因为我军第一次自主研制大型轰炸机，之前只是仿制前苏联的轰炸机，没有自主的设计理念和设计思想，因此，综合考虑还是采用熟悉的稳当的设计为佳。但是也要在设计中大量应用最新技术，比如翼身融合、电传操纵、二次曲面机身设计、前后缘机动襟翼、机翼大型一体油箱等新技术。 二，综合考量的隐形设计。隐形设计的第一项就是翼身融合，这是在我国最近的战斗机设计中已经大量使用的技术，没有什么困难。翼身融合的好处是整个机身与机体形成较好的曲面过渡，没有造成雷达波反射的拐角和直面，大大减少被敌人发现的概率。全部机身几乎没有大的明显的直面接缝，光滑丰满的机身显得该机外形优美,就像一只展翅欲飞的巨大的鲲鹏。 三，大量使用碳纤维复合材料。现在评价一架飞机的先进与否的重要一条是使用了多少复合材料，我们的新轰八就是大量的使用了我国自己研制的碳-碳纤维复合材料制作机身结构件。使用复合材料的好处是既减轻了机体的结构重量，又可大大提升飞机的载油量和载弹量，也大大延伸了飞机的作战航程。另外，使用复合材料也可容易实现飞机的隐形目的。 四，首次在大型作战飞机上使用前后缘机动襟翼技术。作战飞机使用前后缘机动襟翼技术，可以大大提升作战飞机的机动性和低空飞行性能。在这之前，我们的轰六型轰炸机只是使用了后缘机动襟翼，只是正常的飞机操控技术，但使用了前缘机动襟翼就不一样了，可以使得飞机在大迎角飞行和低空突防时获得空前的机动性能。 五，埋入式翼根发动机隐身技术。轰八型轰炸机采用了四台‘太行’涡轮风扇发动机，使用左右各两台的布局，布置在翼根两侧。由于轰八采用了大翼面翼身融合设计，发动机紧贴翼根用埋入式方式固定在机翼上部。这样做的好处是发动机进气口在机翼前上部，很难被敌方探测到，出气口在机翼后上部，发动机所散发的热气流经过红外抑制装置作用，可大大减少被敌人红外探测装置发现的概率，实现一定程度的隐形目的。 六，首次在大型作战飞机上使用了电传操控系统。以前我们的大型轰炸机都是使用液压式或机械式操控技术，粗大笨重，使用不灵活，费时费力。在这款新型飞机上使用了由某所研制的某型电传操控系统后，飞行员在飞行过程中，显得得心应手，只需给机载电脑输入飞行参数，电脑就会按照规程自动掌控飞机按照最佳方式飞行，大大减轻了飞行员的飞行强度。 七，武器内置挂架技术。由于这款飞机要求隐形性能和远程导弹攻击，因此，就必须采用内置武器挂架。该飞机可以携带两个转轮式武器挂架，在机身中段分前后布置。每个转轮式挂架可以挂载六枚‘红鸟3型’巡航导弹，两个挂架可以挂载共12枚该型导弹，携带一个35万吨的核弹头，射程3000公里。该挂架既可以挂载上述导弹，还可以选挂对舰导弹和常规炸弹。 八，先进的航空电子设备。该机由于要求远程精确轰炸，所以所携带的航空电子设备式目前国内最好的。既有先进的轰炸雷达，也有先进的地形匹配跟踪雷达，还有先进的导航定位雷达和电子对抗装置。该机还可以使用卫星数据链系统，实现与其它探测装置的数据共享。据说进一步的改型还要安装等离子型隐身装置，以实现更高要求的隐身目的。 九，先进的隐形吸波涂料。这是我国刚刚开发出来的新一代隐形吸波涂料，除了驾驶舱的玻璃之外，全机身都由该涂料涂敷。该涂料不但可以吸收厘米波段的各种雷达波，还可以大大减小主动雷达波的照射强度，使得即使反射回去的少量雷达波，其强度也是极微弱的。 十，超音速的飞行能力。由于采用了四台新型发动机，使得该机的推重比大大提升，其最大飞行速度达到约1.4马赫，不加油最远航程可以达到11000公里。该机战时如果由黑龙江的基地起飞，可以在关岛以北的海域上空发射巡航导弹，攻击北美的任何目标。 发表文章 中国最新轰八重型战略轰炸机试飞内情 2007-01-21　00:36:40 Scholar "reprinted the West mainland military sources : for reference purposes only," With the end of the 16th Zhuhai Air Show, our newest fighters -- the J-10 did not show. But we only" know one of another" Meanwhile there is no appearance of our latest strategic bombers -- has been studied for 10 years -- heavy bombers eight cruise missiles, strategic bombers, stealth bombers. In fact, people may be resident in the vicinity of Xian have long experience, when night fell. Yanliang be seen from the large aircraft took off near the airport, drove red, blue, green color navigation lights flying in the sky in the vicinity of Xian. That is our new H-8 aircraft was conducting a routine test flight (as distinct from the H-6 aircraft flights while striking feature of the aircraft is flying much faster than H-6). So, what kind of aircraft bombers eight aircraft? H-8 aircraft using the kind of advanced technology? New H-8 is the successful development of the FBC-1 strategic bomber (H-7), The most developed countries focus on developing a new generation of stealth bombers. The aircraft is about the development of the mid-'90s in the last century, the central location for the machine are : heavy, not less than 18 tons of payload, is not less than 1.2 times the supersonic, stealth, carrying a new cruise missile that can strike the North American continent. not less than 10,000 km voyage with aerial refueling capability. This developed by the Xi'an Aircraft Design and Research Institute and the task Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Ltd. to complete. New H-8 aircraft are mainly the following : advanced technology and design, the integration of conventional wing configuration. Why bombers eight conventional aerodynamic layout? This is because our first major independent research bombers just before the imitation of the former Soviet bombers Without independent design concept and design, it is considered safe to use familiar with the design better. But also in the design of large-scale application of the latest technology, such as the blended wing, fax manipulated conicoid fuselage design, Edge mobile wing and the wing fuel tanks and other large-scale integration of new technologies. Second, comprehensive considerations of stealth design. Stealth is the first blended wing design, which is already in the recent large-scale use of fighter design technology without any difficulty. Blended wing body aircraft and the advantage of the entire surface to form a better transition No radar reflectivity of the corner and face up significantly reduce the probability discovered by the enemy. Almost all the obvious face fuselage joints smooth fullness fuselage of the plane was a beautiful shape, like add tremendous Kunpeng. Third, the extensive use of carbon fiber composite material. Now whether or not the evaluation of the advanced aircraft it is important to use a number of composite materials, We use a lot of the new H-8 was developed by our own carbon-carbon fiber composite material produced pieces of the fuselage structure. The advantage is the use of composite materials to reduce the weight of the airframe structure, but also greatly enhance the aircraft containing fuel and payload. also greatly extends the range of combat aircraft. In addition, the use of composite materials can be easily accomplished by stealth aircraft purposes. Fourth, in the first large-scale use of combat aircraft around the edge flap mobile technology. Geographical mobility wing combat aircraft before the use of technology, which can greatly enhance the mobility and combat aircraft flying at low altitude performance. Prior to this, the H-6 bombers, we only use the mobile edge flap is just the normal aircraft control technology However, the use of a mobile front flap is not the case. make it possible for aircraft to fly at high angles of attack and low-altitude attacks at an unprecedented mobility. 5 submerged inboard engine stealth technology. Eight bombers used the four bombers' out by the 'turbofan engine used around the two bases, deployed in inboard side. As the bombers used a big eight wings blended wing design, with inboard engines submerged close to the upper wing fixed mode. This benefit is the engine inlet in the upper wing before, and it is hard to detect enemy, an outlet in the upper wing. Engine thermal air currents are distributed through infrared suppression device, can significantly reduce the probability of enemy infrared detection devices found, aims to achieve a degree of stealth. 6, the first large-scale use of combat aircraft control system telex. Our former bombers are using large mechanical or hydraulic control technology, bulky and cumbersome, the use of flexible, wasting time and effort. This new type of aircraft used in a fax from a certain control system developed after the pilot in flight. become easier, only to fly onboard computer input parameters, According to the computer will automatically order in accordance with the best way to control aircraft flying, greatly reduced the pilot's flight intensity. 7 rack built weapons technology. This stealth aircraft because demand performance and long-range missile attacks, it must be based on internal weapons rack. The aircraft can carry two weapons of each runner in the middle of the fuselage minutes after layout. Each rack can loading runner-six 'Red Bird-3' missile two of each aircraft can carry 12 missiles of this type can bring a 350,000-ton nuclear warhead, a range of 3,000 km. The loading of each of these missiles can also be linked to the election - to-ship missiles and conventional bombs. 8, advanced avionics equipment. As required long-range precision bombing aircraft, avionics equipment carried by the current domestic-best. Bombing both advanced radar and advanced terrain contour matching tracking radars. There advanced navigation radar and electronic countermeasures equipment. The aircraft can also be used satellite data link system, the data-sharing with other detection devices. Also said further installation of plasma-derived stealth device, in order to achieve a higher purpose stealth requirements. 9, advanced stealth absorbing coating. This is not just the development of a new generation of stealth absorbing coatings, in addition to the glass cockpit, Coatings were deposited in the entire fuselage. The coating can absorb the radar-cm band, active radar can greatly reduce the intensity of irradiation, make back even the small amount of radar reflectivity, its strength is very weak. 10 supersonic flight capabilities. As a result of the four new engines, the thrust-weight ratio makes the aircraft greatly enhanced. its maximum speed of about Mach 1.4, the farthest flight refueling can reach 11,000 km. If the wartime aircraft from bases in Heilongjiang, in launching cruise missiles over the sea north of Guam, attack any target in North America.
