Answer:

Emergency okorder /
Aluminum is good for saucepans because aluminum is a very good conductor of heat (and electricity as well, which is why it's sometimes used for cables/wires). Aluminum is also good for small boats and airplanes since it's a very lightweight (not very dense) metal yet still strong enough for many applications. Weight is a very important factor for airplanes and small boats. Not too sure about hospital blankets, unless you're talking about those reflective blankets but those are mainly to reflect your body heat back to you and minimize heat loss.
you could go generic and use two basic properties of metal. malleable pliable my spelling sucks, but you get the idea
D) Airplanes
Ummm why do you expect people here to do your homework for you and what will you ever learn by having people do your homework here?? You can look in your book or easily search the web and do it yourself and learn at the same time.
