Accessing the electromagnetic spectrum is essence of modern warfare, which determined by detection direction, airframe structure, and material. Modern aviation equipment with a long strike range, penetration, strong sensing rapid decision-making capabilities key to capturing access. The development penetration can promote application stealth materials/structures in next-generation equipment, though design component-level structures constrained aerodynamic efficiency, maneuverability, preparation processes. Panel-level material/structure provides new avenues for equipment. This paper reviews advances future challenges materials/structures. main content focuses on technology posed terms maintenance. Furthermore, this study addresses opportunities tendencies
