Abstract: Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) has superior comprehensive mechanical properties, which leads to a successfully application in aerospace structures. High velocity impact property is one of the most important components for mechanical properties of FMLs. However, the related investigation for FMLs still in initial stage as the result from the complexity of failure mechanisms of high velocity impact. The mechanical properties of FMLs were discussed firstly. Then, the research status of FMLs' high velocity impact properties from experimental and numerical aspects was summarized. At last, the recommendations were proposed about existing problems and potential development trends in this area.
