aviões de construção de metal ondulado


Explanation:
Embora designs literalmente signifique projetos (do Prof. Junkers que o projetista russo Tupolev copiou) ou construções, seria melhor alterar para aviões ou tipos, se o texto permitir perceber que se fala de aeronaves. A referência é ao tipo de revestimento, já metálico, que essa geração de aviões empregava. Ex. mais famoso era o Junkers 82. Para simplificar, poderia se usar fusilagem no lugar de construção, mas poer-se-ia um pouco de rigor, pois as asas também eram de metal corrugado.
