Consider a huge aircraft like the Boeing 747 - when it takes off it weighs hundreds of tonnes and the wings also have the engines on them! How are the wings made so strong and how are they attached to the main fuselage? Are they welded or bolted on? I know that for eg. An Airbus the wings are shipped as separate parts that are assembled together with all the other components that make up the entire plane, so they are attached separately!
