Speed tape is an aluminum pressure-sensitive tape used to do minor repairs on aircraft and racing cars. It is used as a temporary repair material until a more permanent repair can be carried out. 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, hence the name. It can either be soft aluminum with an adhesive layer such as 3M 425, or a laminate of aluminum and cloth such as Nitto Permacel P12L
