Maybe like this! NASA contracted three companies; Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, & The Boeing Company to study advanced concept designs for future flight. They asked the firms to create a commercial plane with less noise, cleaner exhaust, and a lower fuel consumption than current planes. Additionally, each design has to fly up to 85 percent of the speed of sound; cover a range of approximately 7,000 miles; and carry between 50,000 and 100,000 pounds of payload, either passengers or cargo.
Here are the models that NASA are most interested in (in order, Lockheed Martin's design, Boeing's design, and Northrop Grumman's design):
