They reinforce the wings where normally they wouldn't come back if shot there

The screws attach the aircraft to the cables that suspend it from the firmament of the heavens.

Well if they used bolts it wouldn't be as aerodynamic.

Aircraft carriers have slots on them like power strips that the other sides of those dock into nicely.

It screws the top mold to the bottom mold, and means you can easily unscrew it for maintenance
