If you need name suggestions for the "unknown" then i have one.
You could call it "Alpha Bird" as a first of a new futuristic aircraft series to come.

Here is an example of a forward swept wing, the Sukhoi S-37:

A couple of notes on Boeing's Sonic Cruiser:

1) If such a design ever gets built, it probably won't look that futuristic - it'll undergo some conservative design changes. Compare the early artwork for the 787 with the finished aircraft.

2) It's not actually that fast - the design cruise speed is subsonic and barely faster than that of, eg, the 707. It's certainly nothing like the speed of Concorde.

Speed of sonic cruiser should be 0,98Mach = about 1150km/h :wink:

Indeed - about 100km/h faster than the 707, and about 1000km/h slower than the Concorde. :lol:

I think I need to redo the "Sonicruiser" in av8, hmm... :)

better imo, make it more square than round, looks more like a japanese action figure then a plane:P

more squaryness on the sides, top can be rounded off....

Squares = Not aerodynamic. Besides, it looks great like that. I can imagine planes of the future being similar. :p

Remember that those aren't windows in the middle there on the 87, they're grills for ventilation of the engine. I would have thought it'd be more easily done with textures.

Also, bear in mind that the cab roof of the 87 is blended smoothly. Your profile is flat, giving it squared off edges. Google some images... (btw the 86 is also the same basic design - although 3 windows to the 87's 2 iirc)
