Abstract: Advanced thermoplastic composite material is a new kind of promising composite for aeroplane structural parts application with the advantages of good recycling, reutilization, post forming, short processing cycle, high manufacturing efficiency and high toughness. In this paper, the main performance characteristics of resin matrix,thermoplastic prepreg for advanced thermoplastic composite material and the state of the arts in thermoplastic composite manufacturing were summarized. The applications of advanced thermoplastic composite material in overseas aviation equipment were introduced. The focus for research and development of advanced thermoplastic composite in the future on thermoplastic prepreg manufacture in high quality and high efficiency, automated tape placement combined with in-situ consolidation and automatic welding were also proposed.

Key words: thermoplastic composite material, prepreg, automated placement, welding
