History
The fuselage is the main structure or body of the fixed-wing aircraft. It
provides space for cargo, controls, accessories, passengers, and other
equipment. In single-engine aircraft, the fuselage houses the powerplant. In
multiengine aircraft, the engines may be either in the fuselage, attached to
the fuselage, or suspended from the wing structure. There are two general
types of fuselage construction.
 Truss
 Monocoque
 Monocoque
 Semimonocoque

Construction
Modern airplane, such as the A380 have seen a switch to composite materials
for fuselage construction. This seems set to stay as the way forward for new
aircraft designs. There are challenges, but the lower weight offering
significant improvements in efficiency and operating cost.

The example on the A380 super sized aircraft shows that 61%
of the structure is made of aluminum alloys, 22% in
composites, 10% in titanium and steel and 3% in fiber metal
laminate.

Sunday, December 25, 2022 12
The A380 is the first commercial airliner to have a central wing
box made of carbon–fibre reinforced plastic. It is also the first
to have a smoothly contoured wing cross–section

Landing
Gear of
AirbusA380
Sunday, December 25, 2022 16
Landing gear has to support the entire weight of the aircraft, so it
has to be incredibly sturdy. This is why the landing gear is usually
made of steel, which is robust, but heavy (which is why it is not
used on other parts of the plane). Some parts are also made of
titanium alloys. Every Emirates Airbus A380 aircraft has a landing
gear system with a total of 22 landing wheels
