Errrm, how much welded aluminum do you see in airframe construction? For this type of structure, none. The thin material is very difficult to weld, and it can't be properly re-hardened in-situ.
Don't you understand! We need to weld airplanes from strong steel, not this thin aluminum! We need to bring back piston driven propellers for safety! We need control cables, not this stupid hydraulic control system! Round dials! No computers!
There is no excuse for not having all steel, welded airframes controlled by cables, powered by pistons, and instrumented by mechanical components!
You guys can keep feeding the troll if you like.
I'm done giving serious answers to inflammatory, trolling posts.
"Food" for thought, or trolls. Planes should be made from 4130 chromoly so they are extremely strong, they can crash, just dust them off and throw them back up In the air, no harm, no foul!
Need to make the runways a lot Looooonger...
