The two more popular types are truss and semimonocoque. Truss is a rigid frame which handles most of the stress on the frame, which is normaly covered over with fabric or metal. Semimonocoque is the most popular type of fuselage and it shares the load between the skin of the aircraft and the frame. In semimonocoque, engineers may find it easier to accomodate their objectice since design wise it is more flexible.

Why are aircraft fuselages made of aluminium alloys though magnesium is the lightest metal?

Aircraft fuselages are primarily made of aluminum alloys because they offer a favorable balance of strength, weight, and corrosion resistance. While magnesium is lighter, it is more prone to corrosion and has lower fatigue resistance compared to aluminum. Additionally, aluminum alloys can be easily fabricated and welded, making them more practical for large structural components like fuselages. These properties make aluminum a more suitable choice for the demanding conditions of flight.

What is a jet engine pod called?

A jet engine pod is commonly referred to as a "nacelle." The nacelle houses the engine and is designed to streamline airflow, reduce drag, and protect the engine components. It can also contain systems for noise reduction and engine control. Nacelles are typically found on aircraft wings or fuselages, depending on the design of the aircraft.
