The Chinese H-8 Stealth bomber? List of Chinese aircrafts

Posted on March 6, 2008 by moinansari

Just like the Chinese Nuclear explosion and the Chinese Hydrogen bomb took the nuclear world by surprise, the stealth bomber from China has taken the aviation world by stupefaction. The reaction is as varied as it is predictable. From the “No Way“, to “its a fake“, to “the Chinese can never do it“, to “Wow” to “Oh My God!”

We have reproduced a listing of all Chinese aircraft so that lineage and an evolutionary pattern can be shown.

The controversy over the fighter will continue for years and possibly decades. Rupee News was one of the premier sites to break this groundbreaking news, and this short brief remains one of our most popular article.

The Chinese have never imposed any sanctions on Pakistan. The development of Chinese technology is of course of interest to Pakistan, because Pakistan may get access to it.

The H-8 bomber was a Chinese military aircraft that was a possible successor to the Xian H-6 twin-engine jet bomber.

The prototype aircraft was reported to be an enlarged version of the H-6 with underwing engines, but that the project was canceled in the early 1970s before the bomber went into production. the China military has a stealth bomber called Xian H-8. The bomber has 4 Ws-10A engines derived from Russian and US technology. It is made from carbon fiber and coated with special nanotechnology. well, the Xian H-8 has a max speed of Mach 1.2 and carries stealth missiles in its cargo bay. The bomber also can carry nuclear missiles. China is currently developing stealth fighters like J-XX and J-13 (which is based on the J-10).

It is the world’s second Stealth bomber, and is more advanced than the American B-2. Because the project is top-secret, little is known about the aircraft. It is a Stealth, strategic, and heavy bomber rolled into one. It carries a crew of two. It could fly as fast as Mach 1.4, has a range of 11,000 kilometers (without refuelling), and can carry over 18 tonnes of bomb load. It can carry twelve Stealth cruise missiles (each with a range of 3,000 km) on each of the two weapons bays. It could carry an additional three nuclear missiles (350-kilotons each). The bomber will be mass-produced and will enter active service in the PLAAF by 2010. The bomber will replace the old H-6 bombers that the PLAAF have in active service.

For obvious reasons the actual bomber may look slightly different because the pictures may have been camouflaged to hide the details of true design of the Chinese plane. This is standard operating procedure for new secret weapons. A similar obfuscating tactic was adopted by the American DoD before the Stealth B-2 bomber was introduced to the public. Prototype models of the B-2 had all sorts of designs.

Here are only SOME of the features:

-High-tech blended wing-body design
-Fly-by-wire controls
-Angled fuselage
-Internal fuel tanks.
-Carbon fiber and composite materials
-Rotating weapons profile bay
-Mapping radar, satellite data links and advanced digital mapping systems
-Nanometer coating
-4 turbo-fan engines - based on the WS-10A

Here is a picture of the Chinese H-8 bomber. Some Chinese analysts claim that the real picture has been changed so as not to reveal the true details about the bomber.

According to the “Fenghuang Tower”  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
