Hi.
What kind of glue is used in wings and fuselage construction in big planes? They do not make riveting in Airbus and Boeing planes (at least less riveting than in 70´s plane makers)

How gluing have to make? How about hybrid construction, with some of riveting and something glued?
Is glued wing better in high stress?
