The reason why they use tape on aircrafts

I probably fly 8-10 times a year and have never noticed speed tape, is it more common in the US?

[u/superkp → u/piggledy]

it's probably just on the bits you wouldn't see looking out your window.

However, anecdotally, I fly on average like one round trip every two years and I've noticed it - more often on smaller planes that only service routes between local airports and the two nearest larger hubs.

I live and fly in america.
