Its a fake!
According to Wikipedia:
In May 2006, four concept designs being examined by Boeing were outlined in the Seattle Times. Codenamed after the well-known Muppets (the design team is known as the Green Team), the designs concentrated primarily on reducing fuel usage. All four designs illustrated rear-engine layouts.
* "Fozzie" employs open rotors and would offer a lower cruising speed.
* "Beaker" has very thin, long wings, with the ability to partially fold-up to facilitate easier taxiing.
* "Kermit Kruiser" has forward swept wings over which are positioned its engines, with the aim of lowering noise below due to the reflection of the exhaust signature upward.
* "Honeydew" with its delta wing design, resembles a marriage of the flying wing concept and the traditional tube fuselage.
As with most concepts, these designs are only in the exploratory stage intended to help Boeing evaluate the potentials of such radical technologies.
Planes take several years to develop and so I doubt that since May 2006, Boeing have moved far from these four concepts. Anyway, a quick internet search proves the 797 in this thread to be a fake. 797 is more likely to be a 737 replacement anyway, and it is likely to use a tubular design like the 737.

As someone who works designing actuation and fuel management systems for the aerospace industry I can assure you that nothing like this has made it any further than the concept stage I'm afraid.

It is real! Boeing has been developing this plane for more then 10 years. The idea for this plane started in the 1920's.

Its not real. A did a very thorough internet search back when this thread was fresh, and I found it to be a fake. Confirmed by several websites.

What is true, according to Boeing, is that Boeing Phantom Works, the company's advanced research and development organization, is doing research on the blended wing body design as a potential military aircraft. Boeing has built a scale model to test its low-speed flying characteristics in a wind tunnel. There are also plans (as of 13/7/07) to flight test a scale model.
