Aluminum is very lightweight for its strength. This makes it an ideal material for airplanes where every extra pound of weight means one less pound of payload.
Many modern aircraft are now being made of composite materials which are even lighter (and stronger) than aluminum.
Aluminum is very cheap(in terms of aircraft materials) and is very strong for it's weight. It is also very malleable, which means it can bend as apposed to breaking. this is important because if the metal broke, it could expose important things inside the plane such as fuel or passengers.
Aluminum is strong and light. We couldn't build aircraft without it. Though there is steel in aeroplanes, there are no steel aircraft as steel is too heavy to construct planes out of. While it is true that the Blackbird, the SR-71, had a titanium skin, it was still built with aluminum and composites to keep the weight down.
Aluminum alloys are relatively common, inexpensive, and the properties are well documented and known to engineers. There are many kinds optimized for the various fabrication process required to build a plane (machining, cold formed sheet metal, welding...). Titanium, while also light and very strong, is also less common, tends to be expensive, and is not as well known to many engineers. Most engineers, designing critical items like plane parts, prefer to 'go with what they know'.
A plane is made out of aluminum because then it is light weight and it is stronger from all the stress flying puts on the structure. Hope this helps.
Aluminum is used in aircraft due to it's low weight to cost ratio, materials such as Carbon Fiber or Titanium are lighter but far more expensive.
because it is a stronger material.
because the inventors are retards lol
because of its light weight and strength
Because it is strong but very light.
yes a emery board is made out of aluminum so it can shape your nails properly.
Most vehicle engines in the US are made of cast aluminum. Previously, they were made of steel, but in the gas milage race, cast aluminum won because it is lighter.
Steel or aluminum
"Made of" and "Made from" can mean the same thing. "That can is made from aluminum." "That can is made of aluminum." However, they can't be used the same in every situation. You can say: "That house is made of wood and made from workers." But you can't say: "That house is made of workers and made from wood."
Steel Wire in most cases but they can be made of plastic, or aluminum.
Airplanes are made out of aluminum alloys because weight is such an important factor in aircraft design. Aluminum and aluminum alloys are much lighter than other metals.
Aluminum
Many things are made from aluminum. A few of these are; kitchen utensils, airplanes, foil.
Pure aluminum is not strong enough as building material for airplanes. Alloy with Al are stronger.
Airplanes are made of a variety of materials. The earliest ones were made of pine wood and canvas. Then steel braces and nylon. Airplanes now can be made out of anything from wood and canvas, to magnesium alloys and aluminum. Most private planes are made out of canvas-nylons and steel frames. Commercial jets can be made out of aluminum and new models are starting to use light weight magnesium frames to cut down on weight and improve fuel efficiency. The most common material used now is aluminum and steel alloys.
Primarily aluminum and aluminum alloys.

It is bauxite that is the ore of aluminum. Without aluminum, our society wouldn't look anything at all like it does now. Airplanes are made primarily of aluminum. Imagine a world without planes.
Yes. Several aluminum alloy's particularly 7075 series
