High strength, lightweight, formability and corrosion resistance are the valuable properties that position aluminium as the dominant metal in aerospace engineering. Its versatile nature outperforms other aviation materials ensuring a brilliant future for this amazing metal”.
Aluminium has a long and successful history in the aerospace industry. The Wright brothers chose aluminium for the cylinder block and other engine parts for their first manned wood-frame biplane in 1903. Since then, aluminium has been present throughout our daily lives, from beverage cans and building envelopes to ships, pharmaceuticals, consumer appliances and electric vehicles.
