I'm showing 1 inch thick for Aluminum 7079-T6 to reach 3000 feet
at a usage factor of .8<br>
I believe that equates to around 1,850 pounds with about 1,800
pounds of payload. If you use ABS recommended .67 usage factor
you have to bump up to 1-1/8 inch thickness.<br>

<div>I know there was the aluminaut that was made of aluminum.
What is the possibility of using aluminum instead of HY-100? I
essentially know nothing about it. </div>
