Unfortunately I can't link it of course, but it's even more amazing when you have access to the CAD data that goes into one of these.
Can't go into too much detail, but we do aerospace/defense work, and these things are marvels of engineering.
Doing Seadragon-style navigation through the entire aircraft is amazing.
Hope that doesn't give away who I work for, or I may be in trouble, since this stuff is still under wraps, no-one else does navigating 120GB models well...yet ;)

Very cool. That site has a large number of cutaways, and aviation related images:

It's sort of arbitrary how they decide to label things. They label two sets of ailerons, two sets of flaps, and spoilers, but not the elevators and rudder?
What about it?

And I believe this to be true to a certain degree. Every time I see a plane in the sky I take a little time out to admire it. Anyway, this is a very good submission. Thanks for sharing!
