Still, though I like the 'nose' cone, I wonder how much that impedes stealth!

Never mind, I figured it out... I originally thought it MIGHT mean port/starboard. I know better now.

Here is the whole article... It does claim it is the H-20. It does not look like any of the other depictions of the H-20.

The intakes are so big; they may be willing to compromise SOME stealth for the sake of improved speed.

H-20 can be so many things, even back then it is looks like a Tu-22 or a large UCAV, but they are all photoshopped and made a death trap for many sensational journalists. China is surely trying to develop their next-gen bomber, but so far the H-6K/N is the only bomber they can make so far.

Shame, the forensic photo thing looked really cool.

Status: offline 		The requirements are different, so the compromises between stealth and aerodynamics are different. A bomber does not need to use high angles of attack, a fighter does. Since the wings mask the airflow if the intakes are above the wings, this configuration cannot be used for a fighter. It can be used for a bomber with the added benefit that the wing hide the intakes from ground radars.
