No, sorry to say but the picture was photoshopped, but the concept is real. NASA Boeing has produced several concepts that look exactly and similar to that. Check them out:

Nice picture. That's an artist conception of what is called the span-loader heavy lift passenger transport.
.
The 797 is likely to be the next generation narrow body aircraft that they will offer as a replacement for the 737/A320 types. It will likely have an all composite fuselage and a next generation turbofan and offer a new era of fuel efficiency for the class.
.
Nobody knows where they'll go with the numbers after 797. They might have given us a clue back in the 60s when they called their version of the U.S. SST the 2707.

While the others are correct (797 doesn't exist, etc), Boeing has proposed an identical plane called the Blended Wing.

It is not real and it is not a Boeing 797. They have doctored the photo.

No. The B-797 does not exist.

Plane is not real, just a design being studied. Boeing has its hands full with the 87 right now.

Good photoshopping, I honestly thought it was real for a second.
The pic isn't real and neither is the plane.

Nope. Artistic conceptions only at this point.

no those planes are computer graphics. you can tell because they're partially pixalated on the wings.
