While it is evident that Mr. Vincent A. Weldon is qualified to issue
his concerns in his comment on this issue, I fail to see how the
carbon-fiber composite construction of the Boeing 787-8 is
significantly different from that used in many military aircraft.

It's not ... but military aircraft and personnel are considered much
more expendable than civilian aircraft and personnel, so the threshold
of acceptable risk is much higher. Hmm.

He raises some points about Boeing's cost cutting to reduce assembly
time and weight, but those should be easily addressed.

My major concern about the 787 is that so little of it is actually
produced by Boeing, and is actually farmed out to all sorts of foreign
contractors of questionable reliability, either to increase profit
margins or for political reasons.


You are an idiot

Which is different from the 777 how? Most of the 777 is made by
external suppliers.

I was under the impression that this was much more extreme in the case of the
787. Does Boeing build the wing for the 777?

How could you possibly know this?

Yes, Boeing makes the wing and the 41 section on the 777, but most of
the fuselage sections and empenage are made by suppliers, as are the
engines, avionics, hydraulics system components, etc. etc.

Boeing designs it, contract suppliers build most of the sub
assemblies, and then Boeing puts all the pieces together to make the
airplane. The 787 is not much different in this regard except for
doing the wings in Japan this time, mostly because they are composite.

Yes, that's why they call it a Boeing Aircraft fjukktard.


Does Citroen forge the wrist pins for youe 2CV?

That's a really huge difference. The wings are the aircraft.

Does Boeing still do much of anything, other than print the invoice?

So, given that Boeing doesn't build the wing for the 787, what should it be
called? The Mitsubishi 787?

The 2CV ended production long ago. I've been in one, but I've never driven
one, and I have no desire to do so.

No there isn't, fjukkwit.


Which explains why you aren't welcome at EADS, eh?

Doesn't matter, fjukktard. Boeing designed it and Boeing oversee it's
manufacture. The place of manufacture is unimportant.

Your dearth of knowledge about manufacturing is simply breathtaking,
fjukkwit.

So what, that doesn't anser the question, fjukkwit.

Because you couldn't.
