Haven't seen this mentioned earlier, although there was recent news coverage on the topic. Apparently, NASA asked 2 Boeing-led teams to examine what airplanes are going to look like in 3 generations beyond the current transport fleet, and the most intriguing under the goals set by NASA is the SUGAR Volt.
SUGAR stands for Subsonic Ultra Green Aircraft Research and is the overarching project name for several concepts designed by the Boeing subsonic team, which includes BR&T, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, General Electric, and Georgia Tech.
