From the Wikipedia entry about the Boeing 787:
"From France, Messier-Dowty will build the landing gear and Thales will supply the integrated standby flight display, electrical power conversion system, and in-flight entertainment."
I also happen to now that subcontractor Vought is buying fuselage parts from EADS, meaning from Airbus.
Are you sure that Dreamliner will ever fly?
