[12] The metal used for making aircrafts and rockets is –
A.

Aluminium (mixed with other metals) is used on most types of aircraft because it is light weight and strong. Aluminium alloys don't corrode as readily as steel other metals such as titanium is also used to build aeroplane and rockets. Aluminium is water resistant and light-weighted. So it is more suitable than iron or steel. Aircraft manufacturers prefere to use high strength aluminium alloys due to a combination of low density and hight strength properties so that it comprises around 80% of an aircraft's weight. However Nickel alloys is used to make the turbines of aeroplane engines due to their ability to resist high temperatures and corrosion. So aluminium is better answer the Nickel.
