An aircraft marking system for an external surface of an aircraft comprises at least one of a photoluminescent material that provides visibility in darkness, a reflective material that provides visibility when illuminated by a light source, and color that provides visibility in daylight. The marking system is applied to the wings, especially wing tips and other areas of the aircraft to reduce the risk of damage from impacts when the aircraft is on the ground and/or to indicate areas for accessing the interior of the aircraft in an emergency.

1. An aircraft marking system comprising an external surface of an aircraft comprising a photoluminescent material, a reflective material, and a color to enhance visibility of the external surface to users of airport ground support vehicles, the external surface being at least part of at least one of a wing and an aircraft fuselage; wherein the photoluminescent material, the reflective material, and the color are provided as at least one of a paint, a tape, and a film; wherein the marking system is not applied along a leading edge; and wherein the color of the external surface contrasts with an adjacent surface to enhance visibility of the external surface in daylight. 2. The aircraft marking system of claim 1, wherein the reflective material is retroreflective. 3. The aircraft marking system of claim 2, wherein the retroreflective material comprises microbeads. 4. The aircraft marking system of claim 1, wherein the aircraft marking system is employed to indicate a wing tip or a wing tip extension. 5. The aircraft marking system of claim 1, wherein the aircraft marking system is employed to indicate an area for accessing an interior of the aircraft. 6. The aircraft marking system of claim 1, wherein the aircraft marking system is in the form of a placard, a sign, or a decal. 7. An aircraft comprising an external surface of a wing tip or a wing tip extension provided with an aircraft marking system comprising a photoluminescent material, a reflective material, and a color to enhance visibility of the external surface of the wing tip or the wing tip extension to users of airport ground support vehicles; wherein the aircraft marking system is provided as at least one of a paint, a tape, and a film; wherein the aircraft marking system is not applied along a leading edge; and wherein the color of the external surface contrasts with an adjacent surface to enhance visibility of the external surface in daylight. 8. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the color enhances visibility of a lower surface of the wing tip or wing tip extension. 9. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the aircraft marking system is applied at an end of the wing tip or wing tip extension. 10. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the aircraft marking system is applied along a trailing edge of the wing tip or wing tip extension. 11. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the aircraft marking system is applied to at least one of an upper surface or a lower surface of the wing tip or wing tip extension. 12. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the wing tip or wing tip extension includes a section that extends downwardly from a main plane of the wing with the marking system being applied to all or part of an outer surface of the downwardly extending section, includes a section that extends upwardly from a main plane of the wing with the marking system being applied to all or part of an outer surface of the upwardly extending section, or includes both. 13. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the reflective material is retroreflective. 14. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the aircraft marking system is in the form of a placard, a sign or a decal. 15. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the photoluminescent material comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of strontium aluminate, strontium silicate, zinc sulphide, and doped strontium aluminate. 16. The aircraft of claim 7, wherein the photoluminescent material comprises doped strontium aluminate. 17. The system of claim 1, wherein the photoluminescent material comprises at least one material selected from the group consisting of strontium aluminate, strontium silicate, zinc sulphide, and doped strontium aluminate. 18. An aircraft comprising: a fuselage having an external surface; anda marking system provided on the external surface, the marking system comprising at least one of a paint, a tape, and a film that comprises a photoluminescent material, a reflective material, and a color to enhance visibility of the external surface to airport ground support personnel; wherein the color of the external surface contrasts with an adjacent surface to enhance visibility of the external surface in daylight. 19. The aircraft of claim 18, wherein the marking system extends discontinuously around a perimeter of a door or a nacelle. 20. The aircraft of claim 19, wherein the photoluminescent material comprises doped strontium aluminate.
