A study was done in england to find the best color/pattern for
increasing glider visibility. They found out that solid black was best (unfortunetly grp aircraft have to be mostly white, heat issues) and that bright stripes on a white aircraft broke up the silhouette and did'nt improve visiblility. I heard the same argument regarding military use of parachutes, they are grey because all black creates a definitive outline even at night.

Is black good when looking down for an aircraft? -ash Cthulhu for President! Why vote for a lesser evil?
