The Peer Produced Airplane
• In the past, Boeing wrote detailed specifications for each part and asked suppliers to build to a plan.
• Today, suppliers co-design airplanes from scratch and deliver complete sub-assemblies to Boeing’s factory, where a single plane can be snapped together like Lego blocks, in as little as 3 days.

This Quote...got me thinking?
“When I was a boy a family motor
car cost three times the value of an ordinary suburban home, now a suburban home costs three times
as much as a motor car.Now that shows the progress that
industrialisation has brought to the production of motor vehicles. In the building trade, on the other hand,
there has been very little progress …
since Noah built the ark!”
