Three times stronger than they need to be. Really.
Because it is light and strong.
Carbon fiber is a reinforced polymer used to create pieces for airplanes when engineers need something light and strong.
Airplanes can handle more turbulence than you can ever imagin. They can handle up to more than 2,000 times of turbulence before their wings can snap off into pieces. Airplanes are over-built with extremely thick and strong illuminum skin and titanium skin. They are also made out of very thick and strong steel making it almost impossible for turbulence to break airplanes into pieces so you are very safe to fly on-board airplanes! Airplanes are over-built with more than 5 layers of thick and strong illuminum skin, titanium skin and steel!
It is light in weight and strong
strong winds, salt, airplanes and bird crap " THE SUN "
Everything on the outside of an aircraft is designed to be low drag and strong enough to cope with flight..
Magnesium is used in airplanes primarily for its light weight and strength. It is often used in manufacturing parts such as engine components, landing gear, and interior structures to help reduce the overall weight of the aircraft and improve fuel efficiency.
Mainly because they are strong and comparitively light
Airplanes have broken up in flight after the windows failed.
Cessna Aircraft produces different types of airplanes- from medium sized company jets to singe engine airplanes. Cessna began in 1927 and is still a strong leader in aircraft production today.
Airplanes are often pressurized. A large window would be excessively difficult and expensive to make it strong enough to not blow out. So they use small windows on airplanes.
The first airplanes were almost all made of spruce wood and muslin covering. The spruce was light and strong.
