I didn't answer this myself because there is so much to choose from, and so much I haven't seen, from nanotechnology to huge constructions.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, it will have to go to voting, one person can't decide this one.

Concorde.
Even if you're not interested in the engineering that enabled it to fly so fast, you'd have to be struck by its sheer beauty.

DNA
The amount of information that could be stored in a pinhead’s volume of DNA is equivalent to a pile of paperback books 500 times as high as the distance from Earth to the moon, each with a different, yet specific content.
Putting it another way, while we think that our new 40 gigabyte hard drives are advanced technology, a pinhead of DNA could hold 100 million times more information.
Pretty cool

Either one of the American deep space probes that was launched in the 1970s and is still working, long past its use-by date (Voyagers and Pioneers), or a teraherz camera, built with microengineered lens and microscopic antennae, that is sensitive to radiation in the 10^12 Hz. range, and can photograph the insides of solid objects without irradiating them.

Hi. The Hindenburg. The German engineers wanted helium but America refused to sell them any. Could still be flying! "Spruce Goose" is a close second. The SR-71 is right up there too.
