Re:787 Dreamliner teaches Boeing costly lesson on outsourcing by dicemoose on Wednesday February 16, 2011 @08:22AM (#2226225)
Mitsubishi, Kawasaki and Fuji Heavy Industries in Japan are building several of the components for the 787 and All Nippon Airways is to be the first airline to receive a 787.

There were issues with where the wing meets the body (both parts built in Japan), but the responsibility supposedly lies with Boeing who designed the parts.
