What is sometimes used in the construction of highly stressed aircraft components?

  1. Aluminum alloys

  2. Composite materials

  3. Laminated wood

  4. Titanium

The correct answer is: Laminated wood

Laminated wood is sometimes used in the construction of highly stressed aircraft components. This is because wood is strong and lightweight, making it a suitable material for use in aircrafts. This option is correct and better than the other choices because aluminum alloys are not strong enough for highly stressed components, composite materials can be brittle and not as durable as wood, and titanium is too heavy and expensive for such applications. Therefore, laminated wood is often the preferred option for building highly stressed aircraft components.
