it's interesting that the flaws in the A380 and the 787 are because of outsourcing. I have seen the Boeing chief say it on camera. They had to buy a plant that was making part of the 787 just so the project didn't collapse!

The same is said for the A380. I think you'll find only the final assembly is done in house! Pretty scary hey.
