Aluminium alloy is one of the most suitable materials of construction for aircrafts mainly due to its___________________?

Correct answer: A. High strength to weight ratio

  • A. High strength to weight ratio
  • B. Low temperature strength properties
  • C. Its ability to be cast, rolled, forged & stamped
  • D. High strength and corrosion & oxidation-resistance at elevated temperature

Explanation

Aircraft benefit chiefly from aluminium alloys because they provide substantial strength with very low density. This high strength-to-weight ratio reduces structural mass, whereas their elevated-temperature strength is relatively limited.
