No way any kind of tape would stay on being exposed to 500mph plus wind effects at altitude. That's what I was thinking...after all, it is nicknamed 100 mile an hour tape, not 500 mile an hour tape.
experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....

Lots of folks knew, even the girl in the video but no need to let facts get in the way.
Don't take that for me endorsing Spirit. You work around enough Aircraft Maintainers and you'd be shocked how one gets from the gate much less stays in the air.
Don't let life get in the way of living

That's what we call 100MPH tape. We used it to tape holes in our rotor blades if it was a sufficient temp repair to get home or to a safe landing area to swap a blade and do all of our track and balance and also the test flights. Used it on the airframe as well. Basic aerodynamics won't allow it to peel off. It' can't hurt anything in a non critical area. You can see the tape being applied to the blade. Just stand on the tail pylon on the H3 and easy -peasy ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/gjSrAQ9.jpg)

Spirit just replied that the tape was in fact speed tape specifically designed for aircraft. It’s normally applied to areas of peeling paint to prevent further damage. Who knew… That's false LOL, That peeling tape doesn't hurt anything and if they're doing that the primary QA's are just ignorant. It's almost like a thin metal with adhesive more than your typical tape.
