Boeing Dreamliner two years behind schedule - Questions raised about 787 outsourcing
A new problem with the Boeing 787 is just the latest setback in the effort to get the plane off the ground, and has some questioning the wisdom of sending some of the work overseas. The company has been forced to stop production of the airplane’s fuselage because of wrinkles found in its skin. An internal stiffener appears too thick and is distorting the outside of the plane. Boeing says a patch will fix the problem. Overall, the Dreamliner is two years behind schedule. The 787 is still on standby to fly for the first time, since engineers found a weakness problem with the plane's Japanese built wings in June.
