It is important for all the materials used in the production of all types of air crafts to have low density. Aluminium and titanium (and their alloys) are frequently preferred because they are low density metals.

Aluminium is certainly good for building cars and planes. Additionally it corrodes very quickly to form a layer of aluminum oxide on its outer surface that then prevents further corrosion, so it doesn't need painting. I'm not sure that qualifies it as a wonder metal. I really like memory alloys such as nitinol, that 'remember' the shape they have been annealed into - these metals have many wonderful uses from orthodontic wires to repairing arteries or working the flaps on stealth planes.
