Modern all-metal aircraft designs offer many advantages over other types. An overview of the design and construction of simple light aircraft designs, such as the Zenith CH 750 or CH 650, which utilize semi-monocoque sheet metal 6061-T6 aluminum alloy construction and the extensive use of blind (pulled) rivets. Computer-aided design and CNC kit manufacturing make all-metal aircraft kits easier and quicker to build, with final hole-size match drilled parts and subassemblies.
