The invention concerns a sheet 0.5 to 8 mm thick made from aluminium alloy comprising 2.6 to 3.0% by weight of Cu, 0.5 to 0.8% by weight of Li, 0.1 to 0.4% by weight of Ag, 0.2 to 0.7% by weight of Mg, 0.06 to 0.20% by weight of Zr, 0.01 to 0.15% by weight of Ti, optionally at least one element chosen from Mn, V, Cr, Se, and Hf, the quantity of the element, if chosen, being 0.01 to 0.8% by weight for Mn, 0.05 to 0.2% by weight for V, 0.05 to 0.3% by weight for Cr, 0.02 to 0.3% by weight for Se, 0.05 to 0.5% by weight for Hf, a quantity of Zn less than 0.2% by weight, a quantity of Fe and Si less than or equal to 0.1% by weight each, and inevitable impurities at a concentration less than or equal to 0.05% by weight each and 0.15% by weight in total, said sheet being obtained by a method comprising casting, homogenising, hot rolling and optionally cold rolling, solution heat treatment, quenching and tempering, the composition and the tempering being combined in such a way that the elasticity limit in the longitudinal direction Rp0.2(L) is between 395 and 435 MPa. The sheet according to the invention is particularly advantageous for producing aircraft fuselage panels.
