Use your imagination.
There's something you should see. I have a photo of what appears to be AVIC engineers working on a blueprint for a bomber... and it looks almost exactly like an upside down bat, with variable geometry wings:
I think pupu meant a flying wing body similar to that of B-2.There's something you should see. I have a photo of what appears to be AVIC engineers working on a blueprint for a bomber... and it looks almost exactly like an upside down bat, with variable geometry wings:
That blueprint looks like dark sword uav.

The B-2 is considered a hybrid flying wing. The design is to minimize rear aspect radar return.Flying wings do not have its airfoils swept at different angles, as opposed to a bat.

Flying Wings
The flying wing still offered excellent performance and fuel efficiency advantages. But Northrop's designers also chose a flying wing configuration because it offered advantages for stealth; a vertical tail such as found in a conventional aircraft reflects radar energy. Eliminating it increased the aircraft's stealthiness, particularly from the side. The B-2 is capable of carrying as many bombs inside it as the larger B-52 and flying just as far. Although only 21 of these planes are in service, they played a major role in the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia, which had a sophisticated air defense system, and are generally regarded as an amazing technological achievement, albeit a very expensive one.
Hence why I think pupu meant B-2 like flying wing when he said upside down bat.If the H-10 followed the design shown in the photo I posted, then it would not be very stealthy due to the different sweep angles and the inconsistencies within the airfoils and body.
Pic not working, cannot link from tiexue.
Yes, there are a huge fleet of stealth fighters & bombers which China "might" have developed from reversed engineering of a down UFO's in Central China earlier yet!
