Just read that a single 747 has over 6 million parts

Found this in an old FAA maintenance manual from the 90s I was flipping through. It's not just the big stuff, it counts every single rivet, wire, and bolt. Makes you think about the sheer scale of the paperwork for a heavy check. Anyone else have a fact that makes your head spin about these birds?

Actually, the 6 million IS the total part count for the whole plane. It's not just one section, it's everything put together. The scale is just mind blowing.

Yeah that number is wild. Seeing a parts list for a single engine fan module really puts it into perspective.

Can you imagine the total part count for the whole plane, @haydenp95?
