The aircraft crashing into the WTC were about half loaded (10,000 gals) when they hit. From Raymonds link posted earlier.

Hence my question whether the Aluminum from the aircraft melted/and or burned during the impact fire.

If the aircraft burned into the concrete, that would have been a hot spot in the fire.

If the aluminum skin of the aircraft did not melt, I don't think the large mass of steel could have been heated up much.

There must be plenty of evidence around to measure how hot the fire got, may even for how long. A temperature by time profile inside the building where the collapse started.
