Perhaps it's time for a new builder of airliners to take the place of Boeing. Space X and Sierra Nevada are already building spacecraft. The Blended Wing Body (BWB) looks interesting.

The BWB was developed by MDC, but Boeing was not fond of the concept. The folks behind the design, Mark Page, Dr. Leibeck, and Blaine Rawden are all at JetZero. They are teamed with Scaled Composites for a large-scale flying demonstrator.
