Tell me again how this was all part of Putin’s sinister plot to elect Trump POTUS.

It was all a diabolical plan to overload American manufacturers so that they could not fill orders fast enough, and so customers would turn to Russian company..................

Can someone who can get past the paywall tell us what parts shortages are causing the backlog? I know with Airbus the A320NEO is being held up by P&W’s geared turbofan issues.

It appears to be engines on the 737 also (GE “Leap” engines).

Just in time inventory sounds good on paper. When it works, it saves a little money, which adds up. When it fails, it costs a huge amount - quickly.

“The delays are due largely to two suppliers: engine maker CFM International, a joint venture between General Electric Co. and Safran SA, and fuselage manufacturer Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc. Both companies have said some of their own small suppliers are struggling to meet demand.
CFM executives have pledged to catch up on engine deliveries that have been several weeks behind. Spirit AeroSystems said it has resolved problems and resumed on-time shipments to Boeing. “

Can someone who can get past the paywall tell us what parts shortages are causing the backlog? Engines and some parts having to do with the fuselage. For Airbus it just says delay in parts.

I was flying a kite about 30 years ago next to that plant/airport. I was using fishing line and it went practically straight up.
The cops came and told me to take it down because I was interfering with small aircraft circling in to land.
I did a little work on a Boeing B-17 restoration in that plant. Never worked there, though.

You make a good point. If aircraft production in the US were nationalized, there wouldn’t be a backlog of orders.
