Abstract：The advanced fighter aircraft structure is fabricated with metal materials including aluminium alloy, steel
and titanium alloy materials. Due to both the high strength of steel and low density of aluminum, and the advantages of
corrosion resistance, titanium alloy is paid more and more attention on a new generation of weapons and equipment in the
countries all over the world and is widely used in structural materials, especially in the manufacture of advanced fighter aircraft
structure especially. Such the United States, Russia, and China’s third generation fighter and F-22 as a new generation
of fighter aircraft structures such as manufacturing titanium situation has been carried on the summary, especially for the
United States fighter of the titanium alloy design selection ideas and hot forming process are analyzed and discussed.
