    my goodness... that's incredibly amazing! This is the reason I live in aviation; research, new things everyday.

    This is a Douglas Aircraft design transferred to Boeing when they merged.
    It will be the future in time.

    If you want to talk about where the idea originated, go back farther. Westland's Dreadnought concept (which unfortunately crashed in early testing) goes back to the 1920s.
    Northrop built the flying wings which were so evocative, and the B-2 bomber embodies a lot of the ideal of a blended wing: all lifting surface.

    Everyone thought this was the 797 😂

    With computer fight control, the more difficult to fly flying wing designs are more feasible. New materials and composites help, too, I'm sure. The flying wing air frame also lasts longer and can carry more cargo or fuel.

      your right,I have no doubt that at some time in the future we will see 1000 passenger flying wings.Lets just hope they give us a little more leg and elbow room.

    this is a very cool aircraft the vision of the pilot is excellent and i am sure it must have a tremendous range and i know the gliding range must be cool too

    Well done!!! I hope that the future of commercial aviation uses a design like this, the traditional airframe seems to me to be an aerodynamic waste of surface area. Having a blended wing & body should give more lift per unit area, awesome job!!!

    What is this? a plane for ANTS?!
    Jokes aside, this could revolutionize the plane industry, which is in dire need for some disruption.

    Hey Guys If you have seen the video I think it's call boeing warp x-51A Warp Rider It can go to 160 miles in 160 secs cool right? So make sure you check out that video!

    What happens when they run out of 7X7? Will it be 808? :)

    Haven't you noticed the Boeing Logo and the McDonnell Douglas logo? Very similar.

    I read in COmbat Aircraft in a previous issue that this AC is supposed to be a military transport Hows that gonna work?

    So Boei g designed their version of the B2? Only the B2 is 100% internal. No slam to Boeing, this design has future, but bring in the engines into the body, and this baby will FLY!

      Safety reasons. Its designed to be a passenger liner, and if anything goes wrong with an engine, it's outside of the main hull on a pylon.

      Bringing the engines inside the body would vastly reduce the aircraft's cargo capacity. This aircraft is meant as a cargo/transport vehicle, not a combat vehicle.

      Bringing the engines inside would make it far to noisy for passengers

    Boeing Just build it now. the 747 as innovative as it was back in the day didn't hang around the drawing board for 15-20 years. what a joke boeing your going to lose the market edge when it comes to revolutionary concepts in the future, its going to be sad to see
