Im afraid Ive tricked _you_ No one with a massive intellect as yours could be so daft, it was clear you were either playing dumb or lying about your intellect. Merry Xmas! I hope you get good material. ---

As we know from the eve lore, tritanium, which makes the bulk of stuff eve ships are made of, is unstable in the presence of molecular oxygen. That’s why eve ships can’t really land on planets, at least, the temperate ones. They’ll react with the air like a giant effervescent pill and fall apart. So, calm down, miner. Those aren’t really wings. Nice troll thread, though. ---

My apologies for being serious, but the reason is _aesthetics_. If anyone out there building space ships considered _efficiency_, then all ships would be literal _spheres_ of various sizes. Physics says so. I hope I was able to answer your question. 🙂 ---

Merry Christmas! 🙂 > **[Aircraft fabric covering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_fabric_covering)** > > Aircraft fabric covering is a term used for both the material used and the process of covering aircraft open structures. It is also used for reinforcing closed plywood structures, the de Havilland Mosquito being an example of this technique, and on the pioneering all-wood monocoque fuselages of certain World War I German aircraft like the LFG Roland C.II, in its wrapped Wickelrumpf plywood strip and fabric covering. > Early aircraft used organic materials such as cotton and cellulose nitrate dope,... Apparently it used to be a thing. ---

Yeah but post war availability and techniques in aluminum milling pretty much drew that period of aviation to an end outside of very small scale production. ---

It did used to be a thing, and it’s still used for restoration purposes or even on some control surfaces of some larger aircraft, but that’s not the same thing as an entire aircraft being fabric. ---

It is indeed a thing. Atmosphere is actually pretty easy to deal with. The reason heavy aircraft have metal wings is because it’s structural. It actually gives the structure strength. Lighter aircraft - not necessarily ultralights - have all fabric. It’s efficient. Additionally, surfaces like horizontal stabilizers can be made of fabric. Weight is a huge issue in aviation. I didn’t mean this to be a serious thread lol ---
