More on Boeing:

Message 26925770

And then there is this article:

"Each 787 will travel the globe before rotating off a runway in Everett or Charleston, crossing borders on trains, planes, barges and Dreamlifters. In some instances, parts that Boeing machines for the 787 in the US will be shipped to a global partner in Asia, only to return to final assembly as part of a much larger assembly.

On its surface, the 787's global supply chain is almost unimaginably complex, parts large and small flowing in and out of first and second tier suppliers around the world, each partner with a supply chain feeding its own operations.

The CEO of one 787 supplier who declined to be identified, says the scale of the global investment by Boeing's partners in relation to the size of their organizations could make it "the largest and most daring non-government project since the railroads" were built in the US in the 1860s."
