The DOD C-17 Versus the Boeing 777: A Comparison of Acquisition and Development

This study-a comparison of the Boeing and Department of Defense approaches to developing and producing an airplane-was undertaken to find out why the DOD approach results in development and production programs that span 11 to 21 years, while Boeing develops and produces planes in 4 to 9 years. The C-17 and 777 were chosen because both use similar technology levels.
