With the sales of the 7E7 not going so well, they may have to. The basic research has already been done and the airplane they came up with (The Blended Wing concept) not only would be cheaper to produce but safer to fly and compatible with existing airport facilities. Check this out:

Plus, the Blended Wing is way cool, IMHO. ;-)

Yes very cool.

Very neat. Just one problem...the BWB was developed by a joint effort between DARPA, McDonnell Douglas, and university.

Boeing hates M-D and purposely squashes anything that originated here because of their snotty attitudes.

Yes, the BWB is a revolutionary aircraft in the same sense as the B747. No, Boeing Commercial Aircraft Group will NEVER build it because they didn't develop the idea.
