Q:

Which is the part in the air craft that can be made with Aluminium 7075 composite?

A:

Aluminum 7075 is an alloy, or combination of metals, which has a great strength to density ratio. This means that although it is a very light metal, it is also very strong. It is also more expensive than other alloys, so it is only used in areas on the plane where there is lots of stress. Aluminum 2024 and aluminum 6061 are cheaper and used in more areas on planes.
