One of the things that typically makes a vehicle, vessel, etc. "high performance" is that the structure is engineered to be just strong enough and no stronger (and therefore no heavier than necessary). The loads in a pressurized aircraft fuselage come from different sources than those in other applications, but they aren't necessarily more critical.
