As a fun fact: there is a type of duct tape used on planes. 

Now, when I say the word “plane”, the first thing that probably pops into your mind is, American Airlines and huge cargo planes.  However, the type of planes that I’m talking about, are very small planes such as 172’s and 206’s; planes with 1 or 2 engines.  To give you a better idea of what I’m talking about, cargo planes have about 6 engines.  So, the small planes are about 1/3 of the size of cargo planes.  Below are some (humorous and rather interestingly frightening) potential uses for the airplane duct tape:

 1. If there is a hole in one of the seats, repair it with some duct tape.

2. If the seatbelt breaks, fix it with some duct tape.

3. If your head set snaps in half put it back together with some duct tape.

4. If a wing breaks off, use some duct tape to re-attach it.

5. If a wheel falls off, put it back on using some duct tape.

6. If a propeller partially falls off and doesn’t break, fix it with some duct tape.

7. If your propeller completely falls of f but doesn’t break, put it back on using some duct tape.

8. If your propeller completely falls off and breaks, build a new one with some duct tape.

9. If your plane falls, breaks into two pieces, use a lot of duct tape to put it back together.

10. If you try to go flying and find that: there is a penny sized hole in the pilot’s seat, your head set snapped in half, and your seat belt is brokenand you try to go on flying… but when you start the engine, the propeller starts spinning crazily, flies off, slicing off one of the planes wings, taking out the wheels, cutting your plane in half, and chopping into a nearby propane tank and causing a large explosion… fix the penny sized hole in the pilots seat and go get a churro.
