Making a plane out of metal parts may seem strange when you want to make something light. However, metals are generally very strong compared to their weight and very good under tension. Therefore aluminum and titanium are good metals to make parts of planes as they are comparatively light (dense) and very strong. Modern planes also use carbon allotropes in their construction because carbon too is light and strong in tension.
