Chinese UCAV/CCA/flying wing drones (ISR, A2A, A2G)

A scaled down drone model with movable wingtips was tested in wind tunnel back in 2010.

Well, the disruptive cammo looks like something that would hardly be thought out by someone doing PS let alone AI.
Amazing machine, especially since this is practically B-21 size.

Looks like this one which is beleved to be the J-XDS by some people.

I'm not sure why people think it looks like split rudders/drag rudders from that angle where it looks much more reasonably just like regular flaperons in an upwards deployed position. Split rudders have a ventral component, which we do not see in that picture at all. The ventral component of...

This is clearly a split flap, clearly not a J-XDS.

We can even see the disruptive pattern on the underside just like in the video. Maybe since the video quality is quite good there will be some decent pics as well.

If you look closely, even the paint is the same as before.

Just a reminder, Northrop Grumman proposed a bomber CCA concept to secure funding when the B-21 project was stuck in development, but it was gradually forgotten as the B-21 project progressed.

No one said the PLA couldn't also develop a similar platform for the H-20.

Odd that it seems to have two center mounted engine which will vastly decrease usable IWB space.
