Making modern travel possible
Human beings have always wanted to fly, but until less than 120 years ago it remained just a dream. That changed with the Wright Brothers, whose first flight lasted just 37 metres. Today, we are able to travel the globe on modern airliners.
One thing today’s airplanes have with the Wright Brothers’ flimsy flying machine is aluminium. More than 100 years on, aluminium is still being used in aircraft engines today.
Up to 80 per cent of a modern airliner is made of aluminium, used in everything from fuselages, to wings, to rudders and wiring. Aluminium alloys offer high strength-to-weight ratios making them ideal for aircraft parts.
Emirati engineers are using aluminium to build the lightweight honeycomb structure and other parts of the United Arab Emirates’ first spacecraft to Mars, Hope. The probe, reached Mars' orbit on Feb 2021.
