This is for a school project and the diagram would be for illustration.

I don't have a diagram for you but as an engineer, ex USAF pilot and 30+ year private and comercial pilot I can tell you that most aircraft today are made largely of aluminum. The exceptions to the use of aluminum would be the use of steel and superalloys in parts of the engine and landing gear. Other than a few bits and pieces (and the stuff listed in the previous sentence) almost all the other structure is generally aluminum. Of course many interior parts (seats etc.) are plastic and there are some composite materials (carbon, spectra, boron, and kevlar) being used in the latest aircraft, but the vast majority of the airframe is still aluminum in even the newest aircraft.

I agree. Almost everything on airplanes is an aluminum alloy of one type or another. There is getting to be a fair amount of composite material in the newer aircraft, and the occasional exotic metal in engine components, but the airframe itself is pretty much aluminum.

As he said, almost all parts are aluminum alloys. .Even the engine mounts are alloy. Impossible to show in one or two pictures. We have thousands of drawings showing all kinds of structure parts on the C130, but nothing in general.

Dude, how would I get a diagram to you?
IF you accepted email, or I had an email address, I COULD show you some diagrams.

In the middle, by the wings. The plane's frame is stronger there.
