Why are airplanes white?
My daughter innocently asked that question the other day, and I gave
her the usual "because white reflects heat better" answer -- but that really doesn't add up, does it? Automobiles, motorcycles, boats -- you name it -- all come in a rainbow of colors. Why are 99.5% of all planes (except for some cool old classics and some neat homebuilts) white? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
