History of cooperation between Boeing and Soviet (Russian) design bureaus began at mid-60s. Firstly it were unofficial half-legal meetings between engineers at "neutral territory" - in Europe. For example Joe Sutter (chief designer of Boeing 747) in his book describes one of this meeting. US designers told Russian engineers about pylon engine mounting at airplanes, our - about titanium details productions.
Main landing gear bogie of famous Boeing 777 was designed in cooperation with Tupolev Design Bureau. This kind of structure was already designed before 777 at Tu-154 airplane.
At state level, officially and permanent Boeing-Russia cooperation starts at the end of 1993.
At 1998 was opened Moscow Boeing Design Center. That 12th floor building, which houses about 1000 of Russian engineers, working at all modern Boeing commercial airplanes projects
