China Paper Flags a Breakthrough That Could Let Next-Generation Flying‑Wing Bombers Fly Supersonic

A NUAA research team reports a method to raise the critical flutter speed of flying‑wing designs by over 60 percent, potentially enabling a stealthy bomber to operate at supersonic speeds. While the result does not guarantee an operational supersonic H‑20, it removes a major technical barrier and alters strategic calculations about survivability and strike range.
