Speed tape

It has an appearance similar to duct tape, for which it is sometimes mistaken, but its adhesive is capable of sticking on an airplane fuselage or wing at high speeds, giving it the common name.

Depending on the adhesive layer used, it can be resistant to water, solvents, and, for brief periods, flames, and will reflect heat and UV light.

[1] Speed tape may be formed of soft aluminium with an adhesive layer,[2] or a multi-layer laminate including aluminium and cloth in addition to an adhesive layer.

[3] Speed tape is sometimes used to protect sealant while curing,[4] or to patch non-critical components of an aircraft.

[5][6] Use of speed tape should be authorized by engineering teams, and has to comply with certain requirements.
