Aircraft alloy is a term used to describe alloys typically used in the aerospace industry. They include steel, and Titanium but are most commonly Aluminum Alloys.
An alloy is a mixture of different metals to incorporate beneficial properties of each/all).
Aircraft Alloys are made / chosen based on there high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, thermal properties, etc.
Hope this Helps. I'm sure you can find more by 'googling' Aircraft Alloy or Aerospace Alloy

What is the alloy used to make the main aircraft body on an aeroplane?
aluminium
What is alloy used for in an aircraft?
Alloy is defined as a metal made from a combination of two or more metals or chemical elements. Almost all metals used in the construction of aircraft are some type of alloy of a base metal, such as Aluminum or Iron(steel). There are very few metals that is NOT an alloy: One example would be copper wires.You did not specify which type alloy.Aluminum Alloy is the primary metal used in most modern aircraft construction. It contains aluminum which is a powder in its pure form used in combination of other metals to give it strength.Other alloys are Titanium alloy and various types of Steel, such as stainless steel and high-carbon steel alloys of various hardness and strength.
What is the smallest diameter aluminum alloy bolt used in an aircraft structure?
1/4" according to the AC 43.13 1B
What is the alloy of aluminium used in aircraft bodies?
Because it's strong and very light.
What is the Material of aircraft combustion chamber?
Aircraft combustion chambers are normally constructed of light-gauge, heat resisting alloy sheet of silica-bronze approximately 0.8 mm thick, but are only expected to have a life of 10000 hours.
How much does aircraft grade alluminum weigh?
A common alloy used in aircraft construciton, Aluminium alloy 2024, has a density of 2.78 g/cm³
What alloy is used for Concorde aircraft body?
Titanium!!
What materials are used to make aircraft bodies?
aluminium alloy
What is the alloy used to make the main aircraft body on an aeroplane?
aluminium
Why do aircraft carriers have bronze props?
It isn't just aircraft carriers that have bronze propellers, or more exactly phosphor bronze propellers. Many sea-going vessels have propellers of this tough alloy as it is resistant to fatigue, wear and chemical corrosion. The alloy also has a low coefficient of friction which reduces energy loss. The alloy casts very well.
What composite material is commonly used on aircraft body panel?
An alloy of aluminium is used usually magnellium

Does any Cessna aircraft have wooden propellers?
I doubt it. I have seen thousands of Cessna and they all appear to have alloy propellers
Why alloys of aluminium are used to make aircraft bodies instead of pure aluminium?
Alloy aluminum is lighter in weight.
How is an alloy used?
An alloy is used where a pure metal is not sufficient. As an example, the superstructure of an aircraft is aluminum. By itself it is too soft and does not have the correct properties. So Aluminum is usually alloyed with a small amount ( 2- 3% ) of copper. This makes an aerospace alloy that is extremely useful.
What is the smallest diameter aluminum alloy bolt used in an aircraft structure?
1/4" according to the AC 43.13 1B
What materials are aircraft wheels made of?
Answer Aluminum alloy "The aircraft wheel design is influenced primarily by its requirement to accomodatte the required tire, to be large enough to house the brake, and to accomplish these tasks with miniumn weight and maximum life." "Wheels are usually made from forged aluminum alloy, such as 2014-T6. Magnesium alloy is looked upon with disfavor today because of its prpensity to burn and because of corrosion problems."
