You think this may be why so many airplanes are mostly white?

It is absolutely why composite aircraft structures are white. My
white carbon/glass composite glider has a structure thermometer. The
POH states the maximun structure temperature at which a flight can
begin.

The next time you have a chance to look at some old cars, compare the
white ones to, say, red ones. White paint seems to last forever.
White paint reduces air conditioning requirements and in turn
increases gas milage.

But the red cars go faster. At least the police seem to think so.


Oh darn... Does that mean I have to strip my plane and start all over?!?
