aluminium
The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. Pressurised cabin. This is how the Piper PA-46 Malibu, Mirage, Matrix and M-Class family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N687W, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
