keepemflying130 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Just a fun one that came up at work today. What is everyones guess (Or even better, someone who has access to specific data) as to the total number of fasteners on a bone stock, unmodified new Herk? I'm talking about rivets, hilocks, bolts, screws ect.. The WHOLE lot. I am certain that this actual information is available, as every part, panel, and structural component has a print. I will try to find the real number, but in the mean time who has a guess. Helluva game of "how many jellybeans in the jar". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NATOPS1 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'd like to get a count of the manhours that will be spent on this ..... My guess....Bout as many fasteners as Bailout dollars..... Only difference is I can see the fasteners, I'll NEVER see any of those dollars!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaprad Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 If only I had a nickel for every rivet. I'm gonna go into the tens of millions myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyclark Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Sure, just start here, and work through about 5 or so thousand drawings, and you'll get your total number. That sounds like something they could have me do until I retire on 1/1/2011. Of course, I'd need an extra government grant to get the job done, say $1.5 mil.
