Looks like a computer generated picture of a concept aircraft.

It's a CG image of a Boeing (formerly McD) "Blended Wing Body" transport. Do a search on BWB, you'll find a lot.

I believe this particular image was done for a magazine... pop Sci or Sci Am or some such.

It looks like the underneath of several of my son's little metal toy planes. The ones I step on... in the dark....and then say "Oh! Darn!"

Can't be real. That geometry is impossible. at least three points on the wings and fuselage would hit the ground before the wheels contact the ground.
