Damping silicone rubber is a kind of organosilicon polymer composite material with certain damping property, which is composed of silicone raw rubber, reinforcing filler, damping agent, vulcanizing agent and other additives. It was used in the field of aviation vibration reduction widely, because of its excellent high and low temperature resistance and damping adjustability with wide temperature range. This paper reviewed design features and damping mechanism of damping silicone rubber in the field of aviation vibration reduction. The preparation method of damping silicone rubber and its development status at home and abroad were introduced in detail from modified raw rubber, filler and silicone damping agent and so on, and the applications of damped silicone rubber in main aircraft engine and auxiliary power unit, airborne equipment, instruments and apparatus, passenger cabin and rotorcraft were introduced briefly. Finally, the preparation and application of damping silicone rubber were prospected, in order to provide reference for the development of damping materials and damping products selection.
