Airplanes haven't always beeing made out of metal, in fact the earliest airplanes were amde out of pine wood and canvas. Newer, private aircraft can be made out of steel and a nylon-canvas mixture. The reson airplans are mde from metal is because it is more resistant to fracture than wood. It is harder to break will in flight and has a longer life than wood. Metal is also easier to process into airplane components than wood. A new type of material made out of nylon fussed with carbon, making a carbon fiber body, is stonger and lighter than steel. This will soon allow airplanes to fly higher, faster, and farther than ever before.
