LASJhawk;
It wasn't Lucas was it?
Good one!
It appears you are close to the generation who experienced the wonders of Lucas 'engineering'.
Lucas now is owned by the Blackstone Group whose principals we all know are at the cutting edge of electrical engineering.
No, Lucas didn't do the 787 electrical design. It was outsourced by Boeing to Thales who outsourced it to Securaplane who are owned by Meggitt who are owned by the 3i group. I've probably missed a number of corporate intermediaries but the corporate lawyers and MBA's I'm sure were orgasmic about their fees in arranging all that because it created the epitome of engineering excellence.
No matter, it will take decades of lawsuits to sort out who screwed up and by then we will all be dead or demented.
Boeing may not survive but their law firms will.
