A customer has ordered the airplane but requested that its total weight be reduced by 10 percent for fuel saving purposes. An engineer in the design and analysis department has suggested that the weight saving objective can be accomplished by replacing the current aluminum alloy of the floor beams with another one containing 3 wt% Li and 1 wt% Cu. Is this possible? Answer the question by first determining the weight saving that will take place using the Al-Li alloy. Assume weighted averages of density and use the following densities for the mentioned materials: Al = 2.70 g/cm³ Cu = 8.92 g/cm³ Mg = 1.74 g/cm³ Li = 0.53 g/cm³arrow_forward
