Most commercial planes are white. The colour white plays crucial role in many aspects.
1. White paint reflects sunlight helping aircraft to stay cool while on ground.
This reduces the need for extra air-conditioning.
2. White plane reduces heat absorption. Cooler system means better fuel efficiency.
3. Cracks, oil leaked or corrosion are easier to detect on white surfaces. This helps to enhance safety.
4. White planes are more visible to birds reducing the risk of Bird strikes.
5. Dark colour paint requires thick coating which adds weight. White paint is light and covers well with few coatings.
6. White is neutral and universal. Hence re-sale value of airplane is higher.
7. White gives aircraft clean and timeless appearance. It resists fading and always look sharp.
