The domestic content of Boeing's new 787 is also slated to be less than 40%.
Most of the delays with the 787 are due to that distributed manufacturing concept. Boeing is having so many problems with it's "partners" that it is now talking about the establishment of a "super-site" for integrated manufacturing. Unfortunately, what hasn't been mentioned is whether the super-site would be in the U.S.

Boeing is having so many problems with it's "partners" that it is now talking about the establishment of a "super-site" for integrated manufacturing In analyzing Boeing's decisions in where to make the components of the A/C. It appears that their intent was to maximize worldwide government subsidies and maintain sales in merchantilist Asian nations.
