Abstract: The rapid increasing in the usage of composite materials in modern aircraft leads to an immediate and active demand on composite structure repair technologies with high efficiency and reliability. Scarf repair of composite material has been proved to be an important and advanced repairing technology. Firstly, the architecture of scarf repair was introduced. Then, the detail surveys on key technologies of scarf repair were summarized. Finally, some challenges and the future directions were presented. The scarf repair provided support for design, manufacturing, operation in aircraft lifecycle. It also improved safety and reduced cost of aircraft.
