It becomes a bit of a chicken or the egg problem - you can't design an aircraft without an engine, but the engine company doesn't want to spend money developing an engine without something to put it on.
Unlike some other posters, I don't think Boeing is giving up on the NMA, they are just putting it on hold while they get the rest of the house in order.
I think the first pilotless (or even single pilot) aircraft will be freighters - not passenger aircraft.
