Boeing Phantom Works partnered with NASA and the Air Force Research Laboratory to study the structural, aerodynamic, and operational advantages of the advanced aircraft concept, a cross between a conventional plane and a flying wing design. The Air Force designated the prototype the X-48B based on its interest in the design’s potential as a multi-role, long-range, high-capacity military transport aircraft.October 24, 2006
