Summary/Abstract: Aluminum alloys are the main material for aircraft structural parts due to their high specific properties, reduced weight, excellent fatigue characteristics and corrosion resistance. Aluminum is a relatively cheap, lightweight metal that can be heat treated and stressed to relatively high stress levels. It is easily machined, resulting in lower production and maintenance costs. In this brief review, we will briefly focus on the growing applications of some of the modern aluminum alloys used in aviation and spacecraft.
