Right, because airplanes are only made of 100% aluminium.


Stupid Russians, you should tell them to use Al instead of steel.

Whats those noobtube vids got to do with ww2 aircraft ?

Re: SoW
I grant you, there would be sparks from steel components like undercarriage and some props.

But belly landings would be spark free regarding Aluminium structure.

How long do you think the thin sheet alloy is gonna last on the concrete runway?
What if it's grinded off (through?) and exposes other materials of the structure?
What about the mentioned case of a crash landing with parts being torn off?
If I remember correctly, Oleg once mentioned we can also expect flat tires in SOW again-> sparks
(I also doubt you can't find any steel parts on on the belly of a warbird)


Anyway: Sparks, we need them!

lots.

-> so the evolution of designing airplanes made them use heavy steel instead of AI?
