How many individual part numbers on an F-15C model?



Many of those individual part numbers are used multiple times on an aircraft. If you add up the total quantity of all of the individual parts, what is the total parts count?

The C-model as opposed to the E-model. I'm talking real aircraft here.

Gotta be close to a million; I'd guess about 750,000 with rivets, maybe double that if you break down all the electronics into the individual resistors, coils, transistors, wires etc.

Am I close?

1) Individual part numbers?

2) Total parts?

I'll post the answer later tonight and give a few others a chance to guess.

42. The answer is always 42. It's the answer to everything.

No ideas on the F-15C, but I'll know on the F-84F once NASM finishes sending me those 48 rolls of microfilm. Could they be any slower? They take my money first week of January and it's almost April. I suppose I'm lucky they even offer manufacturer's microfilm duplication to begin with though. :lol:
