Oh come on: a few months ago everyone would have made damn jokes if one had said, we will see a Chinese flying wing design of that size that year.
Now we have it and all we hear is that stupid Ch… use an AB, it is hardly an innovative design (tell me any of these design which do not share a similar solution).
Why can’t You simply take this thing what it is: a testbed, a flying lab and one that most likely – in my stupidity – uses a best suitable engine given the thrust-requeirements, maybe even budget and timeframe to test it in the air … if a flat non-afterburning nozzle would be much better, if the US and other European designs are maybe much more advanced is simply not the question regardless what some of us might think.
By the way: if it was a Russian design some the same guys would surely cry out lout “Oh look, what an innovative design solution, it even has an AB, it surely is a stealthy super-maneuverability UCAV !
