Yes. A lot of aircraft are built with aluminum. The aircraft industry would not exist as we know it without this amazing metal. Certainly there are some components that cannot be build from aluminum, but a large portion of the airframe and the skin of many planes are fabricated from aluminum.

What material are planes made of?
Most of the frame or body of the airplane is made of aluminum. Aircraft grade aluminum is strong and light - even lighter than titanium. It is interesting to note that early Russian MIG fighter jets had a chassis - called an "airframe" - made entirely of steel. Some other aircraft parts such as engine pistons are made of materials such as steel and the electrical wiring is copper. Some aircraft engines are made of magnesium for very light weight. The drawback to magnesium is its flammability and difficulty in putting out a magnesium fed fire. Of course other parts such as windows may be Lucite or Plexiglas, and some interior parts are other common materials such as leather, glass and various plastics.
