"The body of the Boeing 747 is made up of 81% aluminum, for example."
"Composite will constitute about 50% of the 787, Boeing says. The balance is 20% aluminum, 15% titanium and 10% steel [5% other]."

"A 747-400 consists of 147000 pounds (66150 kg) of high-strength aluminum."

Slide 11 has pie chart showing elemental composition of 747, 757, etc.
Looks like the 747 contains about:
1% composite
1% other
12% steel (266-224 deg, 11.6%; comes out at 41,767 pounds = 18.94 tonnes)
5% titanium
balance aluminum (including alloying titanium? otherwise numbers don't match up)
I've assumed these figures are by weight, not volume.
Which airplane is bigger the Boeing 747 or Boeing 787?

Where are the bathrooms located on a Boeing 737?
While there have been many different layouts and floorplans for the various models of 737s over the years, one of the most common floorplans is available linked below.
It shows four lavs. One is just aft of the cockpit, another aft of first class (between rows 5 and 6), and two in the tail behind row 31.
How much does a Boeing 737 weigh?
It depends.
There are several weights used by pilots and aeronautical engineers when it comes to aircraft design and operation. One of the most common classifications is "Empty Operating Weight" (EOW) which is an empty airplane without any fuel, passengers, or baggage. Another is Maximum Takeoff Weight, which is how heavy the airplane can safely be immediately before beginning takeoff roll and putting aerodynamic stresses on the airframe. That weight can be any combination of fuel, passengers, and/or cargo plus the airplane EOW.
The Boeing 737 has been produced since 1968 in nine variations, designated by a suffix -100, -200, -300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -800, and -900. In addition, Boeing has plans to build a more efficient variant of the B-737, the "Max" series which will include the MAX 7, MAX 8, and Max 9. They are similar in size and passenger configuration to the -700, -800, and -900 respectively and will replace them.
