Aluminium Matrix Composites are used in a wide variety of fields like Aerospace, Marine, Automotive industries, structural applications, etc. This review paper is concerned with the different Aluminium alloys with various reinforcements and studies the properties like strength, stiffness, hardness, wear rate and porosity. It mainly aimed at the evolution of Aluminium Matrix composites in the Aviation sector. The need for better performance, low cost and quite quality materials are upgraded by the latest MMCs and novel manufacturing processes. With the reinforcements like Silicon Carbide, Boron Carbide, Titanium Oxide, etc. improved the mechanical and tribological properties of MMCs. Likewise, the Fabrication Techniques such as Powder Metallurgy as well as stir casting improved the performance of MMCs.
