Why aircraft body is made of aluminum?
| Answer: Aircraft need to be made of light-weight materials. To make an airplane body and its parts, a metal needs to be strong and light in weight. Every bit of weight saved in construction means extra payload can be carried, i.e. more luggage and/or passengers - so the company makes more money.Seaplanes use an aluminium alloy called alclad, which is coated with aluminium. Salt water does not affect the aluminium coating. |
