The Demonstrator for the Air Force "is on track for first-flight in 2027." The Demonstrator is being built in partnership with Scaled Composites, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman.
The blended wing aircraft itself is is great, nothing particularity new, however.

As always, logistics and passenger acceptance will drive sales.

All I care about, well, used to care about, is leg room, a big seat and a mute button for every other passenger on the flight.
