It was an artist's rendering done for some magazine running a "future technology" issue. Popular Science, if memory serves.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I feel that it would be good to show a picture of what looks to be a production model. Posting this mainly because I want to know if you guys think this is real or not, to me it looks photochopped.

They've been playing with the blended wing body concept for at least 10 years now. They drag it out when the want some media attention or it's a slow week for aviation week. It's a silly concept. Imagine an engine faliure for starters.

With only 2 engines left, it could be a catastrophic event.
