Worked in an mro so mostly was removing speed tape, but occasionally we would send a bird out of a heavy check with speed tape on.
So it’s the same tape used for ductwork?
What purpose does it serve in this case?
My understanding for hvac ducting is that it…. Stays on forever? Probably the metal layer prevents the adhesive from breaking down..? Actually I have no idea..

They should probably put curtains or something up on the few windows by the wing so people don’t panic
(FYI, this isn’t bad it’s a special tape to prevent drag, and the plain isn’t actually damaged)
Speed tape. Very expensive but basically helps with drag and isn’t structural.
