    (99) At least one structure among the fuselage skin 221, the first bulkheads 222, the longerons 223, the wing skins 224, the longitudinal walls 225, the floor 226, the second bulkheads 227 and the crossbeams 228 is made of any one of the hollow pipe-sandwiching metal plates in embodiments 1-19. Normally, the plane body is completely of an arc-shaped structure, and is preferably made of the hollow pipe-sandwiching metal plates described in embodiment 8.

    (100) The metal plates as well as the metal plates and the other parts of the plane body can be connected by hinging, welding, bolting and other ways to form the plane body structure.

    (101) As shown in FIG. 30, a column body 23 of a building bearing column consists of the four hollow pipe-sandwiching metal plates in any one of embodiments 1-19; and the four metal plates define a square shape, and are connected with one another to form the building bearing column.

    (102) The metal plates can be connected by welding, bolting or another way.

    (103) Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations on the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present disclosure belong to the scope of the claims of the present disclosure and its equivalent techniques, then the present disclosure also includes these modifications and variations.
