The designs appeared intended to make a splash. One showed a triangular aircraft similar to America's retired F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, with some notable differences.
Fascinating that the [People's Liberation Army Air Force/Chinese Communist Party] have chosen to fly this prototype in daylight now, possibly indicating intentions behind the aircraft's design.
A Defense Department report released in mid-December said that China 'is developing new medium- and long-range stealth bombers to strike regional and global targets.'
Both prototype aircraft appear to be flying wing designs, which are more efficient in distributing an aircraft's load and reducing drag, posing benefits for future missions.
