Boeing's X-48B Blended Wing technology demonstrator shows off its unique lines at sunset on Rogers Dry Lake at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Centre. The X-48 is a joint program between Boeing Phantom Works, NASA and the Air Force Research Laboratory. Blended-Wing Body technology is a cross between a conventional plane and a flying wing design and is being developed to be a long-range multi-role, high-capacity aircraft servicing both the civilian and military arenas.
