Why is an aeroplane body made up of aluminium?

The body of an aeroplane is made up of aluminium because aluminium is light and durable. An aeropane needs to be light to obtain lift, and durable to withstand the stresses of flight. However, the body is not pure aluminium, but an alloy, or mixture of metals, as this increases the strength of the aluminium through reinforcement. Early aircraft alloys are were made of aluminium, copper (1.3%), magnesium (2.8%) and manganese (1%), a combination invented back in 1909. This has formed the basis for the development of modern aircraft alloys. There are now different combinations of aluminium alloys for different purposes. See the related weblink below for more details.
