Boeing’s major outsourcing statement — the Boeing Dreamlifter.

This one plane shows to what great length American corporations are willing to go in order to make the term, “made in America” obsolete.

The American Dream Stealer was partially designed in Moscow and Spain, and assembled in Taiwan, so the largest 787 parts can now be made in Japan and Italy, whose wages are probably not significantly different than U.S. wages, anyway. What’s up?

Imagine the cost and time needed to design this bizarre aircraft, which is among the ugliest ever. It’s not as if Seattle couldn’t have used the jobs.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes announced on October 13, 2003 that due to the length of time required by marine shipping, air transport will be the primary method of transporting parts for the 787 (then known as the 7E7). Three used passenger 747-400 aircraft were to be converted into an outsize configuration in order to ferry sub-assemblies from Japan and Italy to Charleston, South Carolina and then to Everett, Washington for final assembly. The Large Cargo Freighter has a bulging fuselage similar in concept to the Super Guppy and Airbus A300-600ST Beluga outsize cargo aircraft, which are also used for transporting wings and fuselage sections. It can hold three times the volume of a 747-400F freighter.

The LCF conversion was partially designed by Boeing’s Moscow bureau and Boeing Rocketdyne with the swing tail designed in partnership with Gamesa Aeronautica of Spain. Modification is being carried out in Taiwan ….
