White more visible in sky ? White more lighter ? Hmmm
I don't think u know anything about aircrafts
Aircrafts are mostly white cos white absords heat than other colors , in arab countries due to sun , they normally drive mostly white coloured tinted cars cos of heat
Though some airlines like ethihad airlines don't use white colours , but white is mostly used cos of heat from the sun , not by vision or by weight !

Nice points but white does not absorb heat, it dark colours that that absorb heat.

When light strikes a surface, some of its energy is reflected and some is absorbed. The color a person perceives indicates the wavelength of light being reflected. White light contains all the wavelengths of the visible spectrum, so when the color white is being reflected, that means all wavelengths are being reflected and none of them absorbed, making white the most reflective color.

try wear black long sleeve t shirt on a sunny day , and try white shirt too , go Arab countries , 97% of their cars are white colours cos of heat , that's why planes come mostly in white colour , not weight or vision, if vision lemon color for be best or pink , if weight they will not be painted at all , they will come in their normal aluminum body with tint

Are you implying that, black color ABSORBS heat & white color also ABSORBS heat?

So, it is safe to conclude that, black color ABSORBS heat while white color REPELS heat?

God is even white and all the prophets recorded in history books like Koran and Bible are even whites. Do you want them to paint something flying to reach God's kingdom black?
I swear they dare not. If they try paint plane black then you know the result. Anything black is scam

Very educative, this is really good to know, one good thing to know too is that SMEs play a major role in any economy yet they hardly survive beyond the first generation owners, but this can be taken care of, learn how here https://on.fcmb.com/Top5-7
