X-48B

A few months ago I posted an announcement about the new Boeing Airliner concept: the 797, Blended Wing Body, Flying wing.

A sub-scale Research Aircraft, the X-48B, is now in the testing phase at NASA’s Langly Research Center in Hampton, VA.

This is a really cool aircraft; reminiscent of the Northrop B-49, XB-49A, and the B-2 Bomber.
