Why are airplanes white?
It gives the manufacturer more options in selecting trim colors, just as all
Boeing jets come out of the factory green. Bob Gardner "Jay Honeck" wrote in message ups.com... 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"
