Answer There are basically three types of airplanes. Wood and fabric. The earliest airplanes were constructed with wood frame covered in fabric that was glued in place. There are people who still have this skill to build airplanes like this. Metal- aluminum - Modern planes are built with aluminum frames that have a monocoque skin stretched over it and held in place with rivets. Steel is used for some structure and application. Composite - Airplanes are now being made of composite material such as fiber-glass or derivatives of carbon and glass fibers. These can be made using a mold that gives the fuselage and wings their shape. If you build an airplane, you require a license by the FAA. There are some that you can build under the supervision of a qualified mechanic. The rules are there to prevent you from hurting people when you crash.
