2. Speed tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_tape

   Speed tape is sometimes used to protect sealant while curing, [4] or to patch non-critical components of an aircraft. [1] It can also be used for patching bullet damage to combat aircraft. [5] [6] Use of speed tape should be authorized by engineering teams, and has to comply with certain requirements.

Spike This is a marking tape used in the theater, film and television industry to mark areas on a stage for actors. Wound closure strip A medical tape (3M trademark). Surgical tape

4. Strake (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strake_(aeronautics)

   Double delta wing aircraft (Concorde, Tupolev Tu-144, Boeing 2707 and Lockheed L-2000 SST projects) featured a forward extended leading edge that may be considered as a wing strake; it provides the same additional vortex lift at high angle of attack by leading edge suction.

5. Leading edge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_edge

   As wing sweep is conventionally measured at the 25% chord line [3] an unswept wing may have a swept or tapered leading edge. Some aircraft, like the General Dynamics F-111, have swing-wings where the sweep of both wing and leading edge can be varied. In high-speed aircraft, compression heating of the air ahead of the wings can cause extreme ...

6. Leading-edge extension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading-edge_extension

   Aircraft wing leading-edge extensions – annotated. A leading-edge extension (LEX) is a small extension to an aircraft wing surface, forward of the leading edge.The primary reason for adding an extension is to improve the airflow at high angles of attack and low airspeeds, to improve handling and delay the stall.

7. Chord (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(aeronautics)

   In aeronautics, the chord is an imaginary straight line joining the leading edge and trailing edge of an aerofoil. The chord length is the distance between the trailing edge and the point where the chord intersects the leading edge. [1] [2] The point on the leading edge used to define the chord may be the surface point of minimum radius. [2]
