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
The steel in the screws and the polycarbonate in the windshields? All the other materials planes are made from are at least combustible, including aluminum and composites.
