What determines the correct weight of textile fabric to be used in covering an aircraft?

  1. The color of the aircraft

  2. The size of the aircraft

  3. The speed of the aircraft and the maximum wing loading

  4. The manufacturer's preference

The correct answer is: The speed of the aircraft and the maximum wing loading

The correct weight of textile fabric to be used in covering an aircraft cannot be determined solely based on the color or size of the aircraft, as these factors do not affect the performance of the fabric. The manufacturer's preference may also play a role, but the most important factors are the speed of the aircraft and its maximum wing loading. This is because the fabric needs to be able to withstand the forces and stresses of flight, and heavier fabrics are typically better suited for high-speed and high-loading aircraft.
