Could a plane be lifted/carried by a superhero?
a jumbo jet is primaraly composed of titanium, aluminum and stainless steel and titanium alone has a tensile strength of 180 per square inch. The dry weight of the jet is 410,000 lbs and the max weight it is 970,000. the average jumbo jet is 231 ft long so the strength of the titanium could hold up the plane alone. The aluminum on the other hand is very weak but aluminum is mainly used for the shell of the plane. so a superhero such as the hulk could in fact lift a plane if he were to dig his hands far enough into the plane and grab the internal skeleton of the plane.
