In view of the urgent requirements for the advanced manufacturing of lightweight and high-performance complex tube component in the aviation engineering, we systematically summarize the bending forming technology of bend tube, and the forming technology of multi-branch parts. The bending technology mainly includes the numerical control bending technology of the conventional shape, the free bending technology of the three-dimensional parts, and the hydro-shearing technology of the ultra small bending radius components; the advanced forming technology of the multi-way tubular parts mainly includes the hydroforming technology and the T-drill forming technology. The research progress of advanced forming technology for aviation tube is introduced from the aspects of process principle, technical advantage and development trend.
