Xian H-8 Chinese Stealth bomber



Here is a picture and speculation of the Chinese H-8 bomber.

According to the "Fenghuang Tower" (translation error?) the H-8 is reported to start trial flights from January 5th. The Chinese leadership including the Central Military Committee officers, air force logistics department officer, national defense science and industry committee, Xi'an deputy mayor, the provincial party committee assistant deputy secretary, amongst others were present for inaugurating the project.

The H-8 is a secret strategic bomber, is the first stealth plane for China. The report said that, in 1994 officially set up a development to match the American B-2A as far as possible. The weapons load is targeted around 18 tons. When necessity, the bomber may travel at 1.2 Mach to penetrate defended territory or in case it needs to escape.

The bomber will carry a new stealth cruise missile. It also has the range to reach targets on the continental United States. Range is estimated to be up to ten thousand kilometers. It is unclear whether this is with refueling or without refueling. However, the bomber is said to be able to refuel. The aircraft uses domestically produced advanced navigation equipment. The bomber has been designed by the 603 institute, and Xian will be responsible for producing the bomber. The bomber will be the first domestically designed and manufactured strategic bomber.

According to the report, the H-8 uses a high-tech blended wing-body design, has fly-by-wire controls, and an angled fuselage. The wing has massive internal fuel tanks. The aircraft using carbon fiber and other composite materials. The weapons bay has a rotating weapons profile.

The bomber retains a terrain hugging capacity and has a terrain following and mapping radar, satellite data links and advanced digital mapping systems. The bomber also uses advanced stealth technologies including nanometer coating amongst other technologies.

The H-8 will have 4 turbo-fan engines, the core of which is based on the WS-10A. Weapons will include 12 "red birds" (??) or 3 cruise missiles distribute in two weapons bays. Each of the cruise missiles may use a nuclear warhead and can fire from a distance of 3,000 kilometers. It can also use a host of other weapons including laser guided "thunder stone" 6, satellite guidance bomb and anti-ship missile, amongst others.
The H-8 will soon be test flown.

Strašno
Ne znam šta reći

Бре, ови кинези само краду дизајн...

Mislim da je ovo za H-8 patka, barem koliko sam uspeo da  pohvatam na jednom kineskom forumu.

ova prva slika je B2...mislim da je to neka sala kao i za tu-180 nevidimka..p.s pa kinezi nisu jos uvijek u stanju da stvaraju bombardere i avione tako visoke tehnologije..samo pogledajte njihove danasnje bombardere kopije starih ruskih bombardera

nesto mi tu sumljivo  japan je tu umesao prste oni su jedini koji dobro barataju tehnologijom ili mozda ne  ko zna

Kinezi se smeskaju, ali vise se ne sale. Ne bih se ja zacudio da su iskopirali B2. Nemaju oni predrasuda, samo piche!

Ne verujem da jos uvek imaju znanje da urade avion ove tehnologije, barem ne samostalno, a oni koji mogu da im pomognu to sigurno nece uciniti iz vise razloga. Oni uveliko modernizuju svoju flotu H-6 (Tu-16) na varijantu H-6K, ova modernizacija je po meni suvise duboka i dugorocna pa smatram da nemaju na vidiku avion koji ce ga zameniti. Iako uveliko tragaju za takvima avionom, pa se spominje Tu-22M3, Su-34, ali i mogucnost licencne proizvodnje jednog od ova dva ili cak sopstveni projekat koji bi bio slican jednom od ova dva pomenuta po karakteristikama.
Nedavno su kinezi predstavili svoj prvi jet ARJ21 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACAC_ARJ21 ). Ako se malo prouci text o njemu moze se videti da su krila radili ukrajinci (antonov), motore ameri, trup pozajmljen takodje od amera kao i neki alati.
Istina je da iz svakog projekta kinezi mnogo nauce i da ce uskoro sve poceti iznenadjivati samostalnim projektima, ali to "uskoro" znaci po meni za oko 10-ak godina. Kada sazri generacija inzinjera koja sada uci na ovim projektima koje rade pod patronatom drugih i kada krene da radi sledecu generaciju kineskih vazduhoplova.

Najverovatnije si u pravu. te stvari nisu tek tako. Pa cak i da iskopiras nije to isto, treba stvar sustinski poznavati.
Ali ipak oni su daleko dogurali i nece stati. Ja samo spekuliram na temu: da nisu resili da iskopiraju cisto reda radi, makar samo jedan primerak, koji ne moze ni da leti, ali da ideju stalno podgrejavaju a i malo propaganda, kao buduci avion; znaju oni to.
Secam se da sam u okolini Shang Hai-a 2000 i neke(ne secam se tacno, morao bi da kopam) video maketu u 1:1 nosaca aviona (nismo verovali iz daleka sta vidimo, jer tu nije bilo mora blizu), od skela i kartona ili nekih drugih panela, naravno (a mozda i metal). Kad smo ih pitali, rekose da je to buduci kineski nosac aviona. Sta se desava danas, kolko sam saznao (i to ovde preko foruma) oni neki ruski nosac sredjuju, preradjuju i doradjuju i hoce da ga osposobe. Ali im ona maketa odrzava pricu u javnosti.
Mozda rade istu stvar sa ovim bombarderom. No uporni su Kinezi i napravice ga oni kad tad. Mozda bude zastareo, al njima je sve to korisno - dokaz da oni rastu. A to jeste cinjenica.
Ucite kineski dok je vreme - Shye shye, tzai chen!

Имам кинески знак у потпису, ваљда се то рачуна за почетак.
