I thought the boilers were made of iron? Or was it stainless steel...?



You're absolutely right.
The boilers were always made of cast iron - on steam locomotives.
But these rarely flew over people's heads!


Airplanes do not have boilers.
They do not even use steam (except in cup-sized quantities in the galley).
