The Advancement of 7XXX Series Aluminum Alloys for Aircraft Structures: A Review

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The review entitled: The advancement of 7XXX series aluminum alloys for aircraft structures: A literature review has been nicely articulated. I have the following comments/suggestions:

• The motivation for presenting the present review should be highlighted in Section 1. Introduction - which is not the case in the present form.
• Fig. 1 and 2 are squeezed and are not of publishable quality.
• The fabrication of 7XXX series by additive manufacturing should be introduced and the issues involved in fabricated should also be discussed, otherwise, the present review is not complete.
• In several of the figures, the references and copyright information is missing.
• The English language needs attention.
• The typos in the manuscript should be carefully rectified. For instance, the units and symbols should have space in between. Ex. - 179MPa should be written as 179 MPa.
