I have my own funny experience when it comes to airplanes. Maybe it should be during the 2005 election. One of my brothers and I went by plane from Delhi to get to Uttar Pradesh. As soon as I got on the plane, I was like, 'No, in this plane, I can't hang by holding a branch, and I can't stand on the ground? If there is an accident, it will happen all at once.
Even the half-hour flight felt like a thousand hours to me. After finally getting down to Barelley airport, I take a deep breath. I was saying that I will not take the plane anymore, Even after saying that I came to Delhi again from Barelley Uttar Pradesh. At that time, I felt even more afraid. And I almost swore that I would never fly again in my life. Needless to say, I haven't climbed it yet and maybe I won't climb it now. Why are these airplanes usually painted white?
why are airplanes always white?
Now there are many companies related to airplanes. There are people who do business by flying airplanes under many names. They have set up such airplane flying companies with hundreds of names. There are dozens of such air transport companies in India as well.
But, have you noticed, most of the airlines have their commercial logos painted in other colors, but the main body of the airplane is painted in white color Why? According to science writer Robert Mathieu, airplanes are painted white.
The main purpose of coloring is to protect from the effects of sun radiation. The white color protects the aircraft from the sun's radiation. Another thing is that airplane heats up in very hot places. up even more plane heats in order not to overheat the aircraft, it needs a color that reflects sunlight. That is also white in color. The outer part of the airplane flying at a high altitude can be damaged by the radiation of the sun. The best way to prevent it is to paint the airplane white.
Interesting facts about Airplanes
- The father of the writer's brothers who made airplanes was always worried that both his sons would die in an airplane accident. So he made both brothers promise not to climb together while testing the airplane. The Wright brothers never flew together.
- According to a study, 20 percent of people are afraid of flying.
- A company that produces airplanes does not produce everything itself. Uses seat belts produced by other companies.
- One out of three of the taste buds on our tongues don't work when we get on an airplane. This is the reason why the taste of the food eaten on earth after boarding the plane is different.
- 200,000 flights a day are made by airplanes worldwide.

Why can planes only fly so high?
Why does the eagle fly so high, As said, helicopters fly low, why can planes only fly so high? Let's talk about this.
why can planes only fly so high?
Now, planes are like motorcycles and cars, there are hundreds of companies producing planes in the world. The thing is, you can't go to a motorcycle showroom and say 'I'll buy it' and buy a plane right away. In order to buy a plane, you have to book in advance or say 'I want this plane', and the plane will be ready after a certain time.
However, such planes that carry passengers seem to be flying high in the sky, why didn't they fly down? I used to feel like this too. The plane is usually flying at an altitude of 11 km i.e. 11 thousand meters above the sky. Thus, there are many advantages of flying above the plane.
There are many dangers in flying low. For example, when flying higher, the air layer is thinner, so there is no obstacle for the plane to fly smoothly so less fuel is used. It is very cold at that level. The temperature there is minus (-)55 degrees Celsius. As it is very cold, the life of the engine is also longer.
In the same way, that layer of the atmosphere is called the stratosphere, where there are no obstacles or danger to the plane as there are no storms. However, if the plane flies in the atmosphere below 11,000 meters, there will be many such obstacles.
Interesting fact about airplanes
- Brazil's capital Brasilia looks like an airplane from the sky.
- The electrical waves that shine when raining on an airplane while it is flying in the sky will not affect anything because it is built that way. Since 1963, not a single plane has been destroyed by lightning.
- Most of the airplane accidents so far have not happened in the sky but on the ground. Most of the crashes occurred within 3 minutes of takeoff and 8 minutes before landing.
- In large airplanes, the chief pilot and the assistant pilot are not allowed to eat food at the same time because of food poisoning.
- The food on the plane does not taste as good as it does on the ground. The reason for that is that the taste of food also changes after reaching a different height than on the ground.
Why we cannot see air?
If a person behaves a little untrustworthy, it is said - 'You are taking in air.' Or 'Don't be too windy.' It is called this. Why is an unbelieving person compared to the wind when everyone cannot live without the wind? It is said that because the wind cannot be seen.
Talking about air, I am reminded of a work by Manjul, one of the leaders of the Ralpha movement and a famous writer of Nepal. He wrote this poem after seeing a little girl from Volga in Russia. He has written about that little girl in a very funny way. The part that I remember is this - 'Let's look across the sky and see the little girl of the Volga. I'm going to kiss the little girl of the Volga.' As Manjul said, why couldn't we see this wind that keeps kissing everyone every moment and keeps flowing in the souls of creatures every moment?
The color of any object we see is not its own color. That is seen when the color coming from sunlight is absorbed and returned to others. That is, among the many colors of sunlight, we see the color that is not absorbed and reflected back to others.
This is the reason why we see green leaves of trees because the leaves reflect the green color of the sun. We see the brick red because the brick absorbs all the other colors of the sun and gives back the red color. However, the air does not return any color from the sun to us, so we do not see the color of the air.
Air is a mixture of gases and is mainly composed of nitrogen and oxygen gases. The molecules of both these gases are very microscopic so the sunlight passes directly without hitting these molecules. We cannot see the color of the air because the wavelength of the sun's rays is not reflected. Only a very small amount of light is reflected back to us by the wind, which we cannot see.
Interesting facts about wind or Air
- The air we breathe contains 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, and 1 percent other gases.
- A person breathes 16 kg of air daily. While 0.7 kg of food is eaten daily, 1.4 - 2.3 kg of water is consumed. For this reason, if the air is not clean, it will affect people's health.
- The most polluting of our atmosphere is the smoke emitted by factories.
- Nitrogen gas in the air helps plants grow.
- The first air-conditioned house was built in 1913 in Minneapolis, USA. But unfortunately, Charles Gates, who built this house, passed away without being able to experience air conditioning.
