    The other differences are mostly in materials used. You want to use light weight materials for aircraft engines. Often they require more maintenance because it may be hardened aluminum like 7075 which is great for strength and light weight, but may eventually fail from vibration fatigue where fractures propagate as more back and forth bending cycles happen.
