- aluminiumThe airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. Early models have fabric-covered wings; the 8E and 8F are all-metal. This is how the Luscombe 8 Silvaire family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
