For the 787 Boeing buys parts all over the world, Americans haven't the knowledge for that modern technology (same companies deliver parts to Airbus & Boeing - the illumination system for the 787 & A380 is German, engines for both are British Rolls Royce).
BUT: the A380 landing gear is MADE IN CANADA!
even on the A380 with its 270th delivery of the jet, but that break-even number has ballooned to 420 following the model's costly delay problems. AP says Airbus currently "has logged 189 orders or firm commitments for the plane."
— not to mention billions of dollars in lost profit. Such delays have hurt more than just profits: Airbus' reputation has suffered, and U.S. rival Boeing Co. grabbed the top sales spot in 2006.
