Aircraft structures are frequently subjected to impacts from objects such as runway debris and birds. In new aircraft structural design, Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs) play a significant role due to their excellent mechanical properties, particularly the impact properties. In this study, the aircraft sandwich wing with FML face-sheets are analyzed by finite element model for simulating the bird strike. The numerical simulations of bird strike impact are performed adopting a lagrangian approach to design the wing by MSC/PATRAN FE code. The numerical obtained results are compared with the results in the literature for validation of the model. The effect of fiber orientations, fiber types, metal types in FML face sheets in sandwich wing on impact responses are investigated. The impact responses are illustrated by displacement history, contact force history and energy absorption. According to these results, the sandwich panel with FML skin is suitable structure for energy absorption (that is the most important factor in impact phenomena). The lay-ups with titanium metal layer with aramid fibers are the best.
