Russian Engineers Designing Boeing 787

The incomplete Boeing B-787 Dreamliner passenger plane design has been unveiled in Moscow while about 300 Russian engineers help design its
components, Vremya Novostei reported.
On May 16, Boeing Russia-CIS President Sergei Kravchenko said that the company had decided to include Moscow in an extremely limited list of cities
where B-787-s will be unveiled. His decision is motivated by Russia's considerable contribution to the R and D effort.
Boeing runs its largest foreign engineering center in Moscow. The center employs about 1,000 Russian engineers. Nearly 300 of them design B-787
components, like the nose section, leading edges and engine pylons.
Another 200 Russian engineers are working on the B-747 jumbo jet's cargo version. These aircraft will be used in the B-787 production cycle. The
Dreamliner is the world's largest civilian aircraft. U.S. and Russian designers, as well as those in some other countries, are now working on its
engineering solutions.
