Abstract: As a new technology for aircraft skin processing, mirror milling is an efficient and green processing technology, and has been gradually replacing chemical milling. The support technology is a key technology for mirror milling, important for size precision and surface quality of the skin, and directly affects the appearance of the outer surface of the skin. Based on expounding the characteristics of aircraft skin and its processing technology, the development of thickness reducing technology for aircraft skin is introduced. The advantages and the state of the art of mirror milling is summarized, and the research status of support technology for mirror milling is analyzed. The current problems and difficulties of the support technology and its development trend are detailed to provide reference and guidance for further research on mirror milling support technology.

Key words: aircraft skin, mirror milling, support technology, synchronous support, surface topography
