composite
The airframe is composite: carbon fibre or glass fibre set in resin, moulded in large pieces with few joints, which gives smooth shapes but needs different inspection and repair methods from metal. With a whole-airframe parachute. This is how the Cirrus SR20 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.
