【 摘 要 】

4D printing is a new developing technology that has been developed rapidly in recent years. It is of great significance for the development of intelligent structure of aeronautical and aerospace equipments. This paper discusses the development process and the demand for the multifunctional structure of the fighter, and explains the important functions of 4D printing in the realization of aircraft functions integration, explores the definition of 4D printing, special materials, processing equipment and structure characteristics. The application potential of 4D printing in intelligent variant structure, the new generation of thermal protection technology and the new stealth technology are also discussed. The development proposals of 4D printing in technical maturity, key technical breakthrough and discipline integration are given.
