This photo was then widely shared on the Internet, and most recently was posted on Reddit.
In the photo, a man wearing reflective waistcoats are using adhesive tape around one end of aircraft engines. However, contrary to the belief of many people, that's not usually tape. This adhesive tape is said to speed tape, widely used in aviation for quick repairs on flights to avoid delays.
Adhesive tape speed is an aluminum coated adhesive tapes sensitive to pressure, is used for temporary repairs aircraft and racing cars. Adhesive tape speed usually looks like tape, but an adhesive tape of this kind is capable of sticking to the body or wing at high speed.
The photograph became a hotly debated topic for many. Another Internet user wrote on why the tape speed using aircraft as follows: "Without the tape speed, the air at high speeds that can penetrate between the engine and coated rims causes vibrations , or motor imbalance. In rare circumstances, the coating may be torn border by air pressure forming in the edge connector. Adhesive tape speed help cover this gap back safely, quickly reducing the risk of mechanical failure. Then, the plane can be arranged repaired as convenient or as scheduled maintenance. "
However, a spokesman for EasyJet said the case of the employees in the photograph, tape speed not used to repair aircraft.
"Classes have speed tape is pasted on only one part of the process involves the shell painted plane, and not have an impact on the structure of the aircraft and not affect the safety of flight fly, "the spokesman said.
When asked to comment on a photo, a safety expert at Scripps Institution of Civil Aviation He said: "In the photo, coated aluminum tape is stuck on the plane. This type of adhesive tape used to fix quickly, and very common in the aviation industry for many years. "
It is unclear where this picture was taken at the airport yet. /.
