Just thinking

So one block is 3.3 ft (1m)
The smallest (non modded) possible fuselage is (0.25m×0.25m×0.25m) or 1/64 m^3 (0.015625m^3). Alternatively (3.3ft×3.3ft×3.3ft) is 35.937ft^3. Weighing in at 9 lbs (~4.07 kg).
You can fit 1000 lbs (453 kg) dead weight into it and no fuel
Thus its density (metric) is 457kg/0.015625m^3 or *29248kg/m^3.
(Or in imperial its 1009lbs/35.937ft^3 or ~28lbs/ft^3)

NOW THE REAL STUFF

We will convert it to g/cm^3 for comparison to osmium the densest naturally occuring material at 22.59g/cm^3
We will restart the math
The fuselage is 25cm×25cm×25cm or 15625cm^3 and weighs 457kg or 457000g
457000g/15625cm^3 is 29.248g/cm^3 which is 6.658g/cm^3 denser than osmium.

So i dont know what a fuselage block is made off

    That's only for the heaviest possible case. The numbers become much more feasible once you start making larger blocks. Maybe the devs should limit dead weight by size of block?
