The wings are from Japan. The fuselage is from Italy. The engines are manufactured in Britain (though some are also produced in the United States). More than any plane in history, Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner—the first commercial jet constructed largely from superlight, carbon-fiber composites rather than aluminum—is being built by a global network of suppliers and partners. So far, Boeing has taken orders for 892 Dreamliners, worth more than $145 billion, from some 50 airlines. But the outsourcing, along with manufacturing problems, has led to repeated delays. Result? The Dreamliner will not make its appearance until late 2009, more than a year behind schedule, and carriers including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and Qantas are asking for compensation.
