    Why are aircrafts made of aluminum?

    Mininum thickness of skins to use countersink rivets

    Many thanks to all. SparWeb: What is the rivet/sheet configuration that concerns you? It is to rivet the wingskin to spar caps and rib caps. And I do care about the wing's aerodynamics... But at the wing tip, 0.025" skin is used for weight considerations. That's my situation.
