"You're looking at what some people are speculating is China's design for a stealth bomber. It may look like a simple model right now. But these Chinese models have a habit of turning into working airplanes. And if that happens in this case, watch out. Because it could potential give these Chinese the ability to penetrate deep, deep into enemy territory without the opponents ever knowing what hit them.Remember, designs very similar to China's J-31 stealth fighter and its Li Jian stealthy drone appeared as trade show models only two years before full-size versions of the planes were revealed in the past year."John said.
While no aircraft is totally invisible to radar, stealth aircraft make it difficult for conventional radar to detect or track the aircraft effectively, increasing the odds of a successful attack.Stealth is the combination of passive low observable features and active emitters.It is accomplished by using a complex design philosophy to reduce the ability of an opponent's sensors to detect, track, or attack the stealth aircraft. So this is a very tough task for researchers of all over the world.
Generally speaking, stealth bomber represents a major milestone in a country's bomber modernization program.Currently the world's well-known modern examples of stealth aircraft include the United States' F-117 Nighthawk, A-12 Avenger, B-2 Spirit and NGB. Among them, B-2 Spirit is the only manned stealth bomber in service right now.The development of stealth aircraft is still ongoing in Russia.
Besides America and Russia, Contemporary Chinese military is supporting the development of middle-range and long-range stealth bombers. In Xi'an Aircraft Design Institute and Shenyang Aircraft Design Institute, there has been a long history on designing stealth bombers.
