Why are airplanes made from aluminium alloys rather than pure alloys?

Alloys basically mean "a mix". A "pure alloy" would mean a pure mix. That doesn't really work. Alloys are generally used instead of pure metals b/c the characteristics of the Alloys are better than those of the pure metals. Aluminium Alloys are generally considerably stronger than pure aluminium while still being pretty much the same weight.
