It has been said before but I still find it insane how separate Boeing R&D is from Boeing manufacturing.
Boeing manufacturing has been butchered into several independent organisms and scattered across the US states that gives most tax benefits.
Meanwhile Airbus R&D engineers in Toulouse and Hamburg just have to walk a few minutes and they are in the factory hall that is manufacturing the parts they have designed.
