Aluminum alloys are used to make aircraft because they are much stronger than steel pound for pound. Another advantage is that aluminum is corrosion resistant.

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.

Not exactly aluminum,an alloy of Al "MAGNALIUM".Magnalium is expensive than aluminum and having high strength and low density.
Aluminium is light,yet strong enough to withstand abuses to an airplane
