White World, noun, refers to the prevalence of white paint on aircraft due to its practical benefits, which include reflecting sunlight to keep the interior cooler, making damage easier to spot, improving fuel efficiency by being lighter, and being more cost-effective. Besides, the white paint eases inspection of the aircraft white surface, making it easier to find and spot damage like cracks, corrosion, and oil leaks, which is crucial for safety and maintenance. Another practical reason also includes durability, as the white paint is less prone to fading from UV exposure compared to many other colours, reducing the need for repainting over time. This choice is driven by safety, economics, and practicality, despite the availability of many other colours.
