Thanks for the input guys. Much appreciated.
Surely China is working hard on the new engine, a successor to WS-10, or its very improved derivate for all new stealth production line, including future H-XX. Unless they simply get the deal from Russia for one of the variants of AL-41.
I mean, who would object :-))
On the other note, personally, I am on the side of speed with partial stealth for strike aircraft surviveability, instead if just slower nearly non- maneuverable stealth platform. I believe strategy and the right radar system of a modern air defense will knock the “flying wing” out much easier than lets say a stealthy variant of Tu-22, or a enlarged version of J-20 as aircraft carrier attacker.
Now speaking practically, which is more maneuverable, T-22M3 or B-2? .. and would it make enough of a difference to avoid today’s SA or AA missile if it gets within the range of Aircraft carrier defenses, lets say. I feel that speed and stealth should be two main factors for a new strike aircraft or medium size bomber.
