JH-7B is the newest variant of the JH-7A. It is a stealthy variant with WS-12B engines, internal weapons bay, AESA radar, DSI intakes, and much more. First flight was achieved in 2009.

There are hundreds of articles on it in Chinese Internet.

Here's some brief features:
- AESA radar
- New WS-12B engine (thrust increased by 15%)
- 3D thrust-vector control
- Stealth s-line DSI intakes
- Real-time battle monitoring (both air-based and ground-based)
- IRST
- New high-tech cockpit
- In-built FLIR
- New countermeasures systems
- Tail-mounted synthetic arpeture radar
- Terrain navigation functions
- Passive missile warning
- Advanced tactical air reconnaissance system (ATARS)
- High-resolution synthetic radar
- Real-time video surveillance
- More composite material
- Internal weapons bay
- etc...

Here's an example (translated from Mandarin):
ChinaFlying LeopardB program, the new stealth JH-7B has been a successful test flight. "Fierce" on a word: long red leopard Tang chief architect, said: "The newFlying LeopardB completely reborn, flight ability, maneuverability, payload, combat radius, mobility has greatly improved, no life can be arrived at Sea, completion of the mission of defending the territorial sea. "

XAC has relevant and reliable, according to sources: The new StealthFlying LeopardJH-7B has been a successful test flight and has been finalized, the new J H-7B is a vertical tail made both pairs all-weather, stealthy aerodynamic layout of thefighter-bomber. Although the original Flying Leopard "body bone" bottom, but in order to adapt to the new high-thrust engines, the new Flying Leopard had to be appropriately enlarged body size adjustment. Into the gas because the new engine thrust than the original engine and units increased by nearly 50% or more, combined with stealth shape design needs, the new Flying Leopard can not easily follow and enlarge the body of the original Flying Leopard. New "bass" engine than the "turbofan WS-9" and "LouthRice"engine diameter should be large, but also short. Therefore, the researchers on the original machine's aerodynamic shape and the internal body structure has been improved drastically. Great complexity of its workload, no less re-design a new airplane.

After the hard work of the researchers, "Flying Leopard-7B has been" reborn "performance. J H-7B by DSI of the most cutting-edge design clamshell I intake, body found extensive use of new materials, the airframe much lighter weight than before, and the body structure has been enhanced intensity than the original. As the body increases the amount of fuel inside a substantial increase, so the J H-7B serving in our military combat radius of several new types of equipment Radius Combat Aircraft second to none. from the shape to see; China's "J H-7B" switch to the new design of medium-sweep wing with leading edge flaps ceremony. In addition, in order to improve the stealth and enhanced aerodynamic performance, "JH-7B "Using the" S "-shaped inlet, and inlet new nano-absorbing paint coating to reduce the aircraft facingthe radarreflectivity and infrared signal characteristics of cross-sectional area, and have wing-body fusion, the entire machine application of new composite materials increased significantly. "JH-7B" means the fuel has been changed to improve the built-in retractable "soft style" refueling equipment, in order to further enhance the stealth machine. Therefore, the "J H-7B" is the first species to use computer-aided design modified form of the stealthfighter-bombers.

See from the stealth performance; as "JH-7B" stealth using a newly developed radar absorbing paint, making the probability of the aircraft was detected significantly reduced. In addition, improved models of the late new composite material will increase the use of the area and the canopy edge, arms and weapons built by the door edges, etc. The combination of jagged lines, can effectively reduce theradarwave reflection. Used as airborne weapons-and plug-in containing both ways, in order to further reduce the infrared signature. Expected due to effective stealth measures, "J H-7B" Theradarcross section (RCS) will be not more than XXX square meters.

Recently, the New Flying Leopard 3 has been a successful test flight. And have been finalized, the military code for the DDK-03. They are called the "New Flying Leopard" because of its aerodynamic shape and its internal systems are all brand new. Although with the original Flying Leopard "body bone" bottom, but in order to adapt to the new engine, the fuselage had to be enlarged. the new engine's thrust into the air than the original engine and units increased by nearly 75%, the new Leopard 3 can not fly follow simple and amplification of the original Flying Leopard's body. (new engine than the original "LouthRice"engine diameter, but also short.) Therefore, the researchers aerodynamic shape of the original machine and the internal body structure of a bold Improved. great complexity of its workload, no less from the new design a new aircraft.

This is more like fictitious fighter development until we see prototype :D
 
Each month I hear news that China is working on a new 'stealth' aircraft or otherwise conventional aircraft, by now there has probably been a dozen or more different aircraft that China has/is supposedly working on. No doubt some are a reality but there is no way that any country can have that many programs all at once, even more perplexing is the notion of having so may different platforms many of which have the same roles
 
Please stop posting these rumors. Do you have any sources or photos can verify the existence of this so-called JH-7B? Just a model and CG?
 
Please for Godsakes stop posting nonsense, everyday a new thread is opened about J-11 series A, B, C, D, ----Z all being stealth, J-10 stealth, JH-7 now being stealth. wtf is wrong, China ain't stupid to throw away money.

So far nothing has come out into the daylight to be called stealth, the only thing real is technological leaps forward.

On one of the Chinese message boards, they have this monthly "JH-7B" thread to mock all these stealth-version rumors :rofl:
 
So far the only officially proved stealth project is the JXX in 611 insititute Chendu.This is some fan boys dream.Plus Xian is busy on Y20 heavy transporter project,I doubt if they have additional energy to work on JH7.

Most of these are simply developments or modifications of previous fighters (they are not "fully stealth", unlike J-13/14), so development takes only 2 years:
- JH-7A --> JH-7B
- JF-17 --> YFC-1E
- J-11B --> J-11D/E

The only "new" stealth fighters are J-13 and J-14. Not too bad on CAC and SAC.

Why don't you watch this video and pause at 0:43. That's the nose the so-called "rumored" JH-7B. That video was released by XAC for the JH-7A promotion.

And please take a kind look at the photos, especially the one of the officials looking at the model.

And even if there are no photos, they will be released. The J-10A photos were released eight years after the first flight.

And the Boeing F/A-XX has no photos, either.

Seems like the officials are keeping close guard on these projects...

Keeping them tight secrets and releasing them sporadically on amateur defence forums? That is no way to inspire confidence, if that is what they hope to achieve.

Let me tell you a story.

In 1998, the J-10A made its first flight. At that time, people thought that China was decades away from achieving such level of technology.

In 2003, the J-10A entered active service, yet the government didn't release it. People always thought that the J-8 was China's best fighter at that time. All "supposed" photos of the J-10A were labeled as "fakes". J-10A was just a "wet dream", says netizens.

In 2006, the J-10A was declassified. Analysts around the world expressed shock because they didn't expect that China has such technology to build the J-10A. Within minutes, the internet was buzzing about the news of the J-10A.

The JH-7B is in the same position as the J-10A was in 1998.
