China's New Stealth Bomber: H-X / H-20

It is now almost a certainty that the H-20 will use 4 WS-18s as its power plants.

The article stated nothing of the H-20's powerplants or the configuration of the aircraft.

But is this necessarily related to the H-20??

I know, Tang Changhong was the the general designer of the JH-7 and Y-20 and is most likely the one for the H-20 too ... or am I wrong?

But why WS-18?? Such a dated engine even with more modern technologies incorporated is IMO not the best one for a modern long-range bomber. :undecided:

He has left the project of Y-20, for something more important.

Non afterburner WS-10 variant ... not WS-18
 
Dafeng Cao just tweeted following info:

“In a documentary commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the PLA founding, the subtitle says the new type long range strategic bomber H-20's R&D has made significant progress.“

Year long I don't find him loving to spread ungrounded rumour :p:

CCTV is a party-run propaganda outlet that spews more fake news than CNN or MSNBC. Unless you have more authoritative sources or "big shrimp" talk, this doesn't mean anything.
YES SinoSoldier aka. Akasa, for YOU EVERY piece of news/info from CCTV is a party-run propaganda work. It fits very well your deeply seated perception on the government in Beijing! :o:

Where is your proof that CCTV-9 is not authoritative or spreads fake news more than CNN and MSNBC? The fact that this H-20 development came up in a documentary flick is very credible for most posters here, myself included.
 
WS18/D30 at 1st stage, WS30 2nd stage. Both used as sttealthy bomber and flying tanker
What is the WS-30? I thought it was just non-afterburner WS-10 (with higher dry thrust) ... why all these complex engine names?
