X-48B blended-wing aircraft

Boeing’s X-48B blended-wing aircraft has finally taken to the skies, staying off the ground for up to 31 minutes at an altitude of 7,500 feet before returning down to earth. A trio of turbojet engines power the X-48B, propelling the aircraft up to 138mph at a maximum altitude of 10,000 feet. This will be a precursor when developing next generation blended-wing military and commercial aircraft, where lessons learnt in fuel efficiency, increased cargo/passenger space, and a quieter engine will be put to good use. Who would’ve thought that the airplane designs which we’re so used to will radically change within the next few years?
