The torsion box wing had become the standard for many types of aircraft.

Designers began experimenting with different types of wing structures, including the "built-up" wing.

Fuselages were often open-frame structures constructed with wooden frames and covered with fabric.

Most aircraft wings were constructed using wooden spars and ribs, which provided some strength and rigidity.

The materials used in fuselage construction evolved to include metal tubing and struts covered with fabric for added strength and rigidity.

Designers have experimented with new materials such as composite materials, which offer even greater strength and weight savings.

Semi-monocoque structures became more common, featuring a combination of a framework and a stressed skin construction.

Advancements in composite materials, such as fiberglass.

Jet engines marked a significant advancement in aircraft propulsion.

Metal alloys, such as aluminum and magnesium, were extensively used in fuselage construction.

Fly-by-wire (FBW) systems were first introduced in commercial aircraft. FBW replaces the direct mechanical linkage between the pilot's controls and control surfaces with electronic systems

Hydraulic systems became widely adopted in aircraft during this period.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) became increasingly popular in fuselage construction.

Digital avionics and computer systems started to be integrated into aircraft. Analog instruments were gradually replaced by electronic displays.

The use of composite materials in aircraft construction became more widespread. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP).
