Boeing isn't the only company with some seriously futuristic airplane designs on display with minimal explanation at this year's Air Force Association conference in National Harbor, Md. I snapped the photo above in Northrop Grumman's booth last night. I'm told it might be a concept for a long range strike aircraft. It was on a mural featiuring a host of other futuristic designs including what many think is the Next Gen Bomber, something that looks like a stealthy recon UAV, and the design for a tail-less sixth-gen fighter for the Navy. Check them out after the jump.

A sixth-gen naval fighter concept?

The stealthy-looking ISR/strike drone...a UCLASS bid, perhaps?
