The new researches and progresses on nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT E) for aerocomposites have been reviewed in this paper

including three parts. In part 1

the progresses on researches of NDT E methods for aero-composites were reviewed

giving a typical experimental research results. The practical applications and their feasibilities in aero-composites manufacturing

in-service

repair were summarized in part 2. In part 3

the new challenges in aero-composite NDT E area were analyzed according to the new requirements from current and future material development

research and application. The review in this paper included the new progress on researches and applications of ultrasonic testing (UT)

X-ray testing (RT)

infrared ray (IR)

electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI)

terahertz testing (THz)

eddy current (ET)

sonic testing etc.
