Photographed the LAN B787-8 Dreamliner for the first time this morning, it taxied along Charlie for a Runway 16L departure to Auckland and Santiago. I think
the LAN livery really suits the shorter B787-8 Dreamliner. Its only taken me 8 weeks to be there at the right time.

Beautiful plane - the engine nacelle looks to have some non-standard black lines on it. Wonder what they are...

Possibly some form of speed tape?

Maybe this will help ...
It does look like tape and it even goes across the Rolls Royce logo.

That appears to be high speed tape! Was like that when it first visited Sydney on May 28 (?) so can't be that important!

It's interesting that it appears quite patchwork. I'm not technical (as in I have no idea what tape is used for on aircraft), but surely that's not structural; there probably wouldn't be panel lines on the engine cowling on those areas?

I don't think there would be, especially cutting directly through the Rolls Royce logo.

I checked with my contact at Boeing and he said, "No one in the Everett Pilot Office seems to know what it is. Not how it's delivered".
Presumably something LAN has added after delivery ?

I agree Grahame, I'd assume it is speed tape added by LAN - unsure of the purpose though as there doesn't seem like any damage is present.
