fabric over wood, wood, aluminum, titanium blend alloy, composite materials such as carbon graphite, plastics, and the most recent I've heard of - (nano tube carbon graphite).

That depends on the type of plane. There are planes made from Wood and Fabric, to Aluminum Structure and Skin Aircraft , to aircraft made from plastic, to aircraft made out of composites.

To answer ur question correctly the body is called fuselage in aviation terms. Most fuselages r made of many type of materials for obvious reasons. In designing an aircraft, every square inch of wing & fuselage, every rib, spar, & even each metal fitting must be considered in relation to the physical characteristics of the metal of which it is made. Every part of the aircraft must be planned to carry the load to be imposed upon it. The determination of such loads is called stress analysis.
The fuselage is the main structure or body of the aircraft. It provides space for cargo, controls, accessories, passengers, & other equipment. In single-engine aircraft, it also houses the powerplant. In multi-engine aircraft the engines may either be in the fuselage, attached to the fuselage, or suspended from the wing structure. They vary principally in size & arrangement of the different compartments.
There r two general types of fuselage construction, the truss type, & the monocoque type. A truss is a rigid framework made up of members such as beams, struts, & bars to resist deformation by applied loads. The truss-framed fuselage is generally covered with fabric.
Truss Type The truss type fuselage frame is usually constructed of steel tubing welded together in such a manner that all members of the truss can carry both tension & compression loads. In some aircraft, principally the light, single-engine models, truss fuselage frames r constructed of aluminum alloy & may be riveted or bolted into one piece, with cross-bracing achieved by using solid rods or tubes.
Monocoque Type The monocoque (single shell) fuselage relies largely on the strength of the skin or covering to carry the primary stresses. The design may be divided into three classes: (1) Monocoque, (2) semimonocoque, or (3) reinforced shell. The true monocoque construction) uses formers, frame assemblies, & bulkheads to give shape to the fuselage, but the skin carries the primary stresses. Since no bracing members r present, the skin must be strong enough to keep the fuselage rigid. Thus, the biggest problem involved in monocoque construction is maintaining enough strength while keeping the weight within allowable limits.
Aluminum Ductility is the property of a metal, which permits it to be permanently drawn, bent, or twisted into various shapes without breaking. This property is essential for metals used in making wire & tubing. Ductile metals r greatly preferred for aircraft use because of their ease of forming & resistance to failure under shock loads. For this reason, aluminum alloys r used for cowl rings, fuselage & wing skin, & formed or extruded parts, such as ribs, spars, & bulkheads. Chrome molybdenum steel is also easily formed into desired shapes. Ductility is similar to malleability.
Titanium The use of titanium is widespread. It is used in many commercial enterprises & is in constant demand for such items as pumps, screens, & other tools & fixtures where corrosion attack is prevalent. In aircraft construction & repair, titanium is used for fuselage skins, engine shrouds, firewalls, longerons, frames, fittings, air ducts, & fasteners.
Magnesium Among the aircraft parts that have been made from magnesium with a substantial savings in weight r nosewheel doors, flap cover skin, aileron cover skin, oil tanks, floorings, fuselage parts, wingtips, engine nacelles, instrument panels, radio masts, hydraulic fluid tanks, oxygen bottle cases, ducts, & seats.

It depends on the type of plane, Aluminum, titanium blend alloy, nano tube carbon graphite, wood, etc.
