We cannot build wings in the U.S.A. anymore?

I would never want to fly on a “NEW” production plane, no matter who made it.
Trying to think, but I do not think that I have flown anything but an Airbus in the last 10 to 15 years.
Sadly, that is not a glowing endorsement of the US aviation industry.

From reading the article, you would think that just one wing falling off a plane in flight would be a major problem.

It’s the shear ties, which are replaceable.

The ties, made of aluminum, hold the rib to the skin of the wing and will be replaced with an aluminum part.
Well, I'm glad that's cleared up.

The shear ties should be replaced with swine sinew. It does not crack and on hot days emits a pleasant bacon being fried aroma. Its a win win

I've followed the Boeing 787 development from the start, and Boeing's strategy of outsourcing the design and manufacture of large segments of the 787 has been nothing but a disaster.
And despite all of the problems the 787 has had, it will still turn out to be one of the most successful commercial aircraft in history.
