Had Hitler been more militarily astute (i.e. listening to his generals), even the USSR would have been conquered. So instead of the Cold War being between the US and USSR, it would have been between the US against Nazi Germany, the latter of which would have been much harder to deal with than the USSR.
German scientists were employed in US after the defeat of Nazi. Had there been no WW2 USA would not have emerged as powerful as it did back then. Von Braun would have made Germany even a Space Power.
Which all indications point to it being ... stealth and supersonic unfortunately are contradictory.
No, they are not. There is a shape that is equally efficient at being low radar observable and amenable to supersonic. And that is all I will say for now. You guys are grossly mistaken if you think we cannot make the two works.
Nope...But close. The ogive shape make propulsion placement difficult especially still in the jet age.Flying saucer. It minimizes RCS and maximizes fuel.
B1B and Tu-160 are not stealthy ...
H-20 is not a simple flying wing. It has distinct fuselage and wings. The most recent official video confirms it. I think PLAAF demanded that H-20 be both VLO and supersonic capable.
No flying wing can't be supersonic because of their design limitationsH-20 is not a flying wing. The most recent official video confirms it. I think PLAAF demanded that H-20 be both VLO and supersonic capable.

Most like the initial H-20s will be equipped by WS-10 non after burning variant ... and why would they need a lot of thrust. The B-2 is powered by four 77 kN F118GE-100 engines.
