This paper retraces the state of the art, the recent development and the unsolved issues found in the composites manufacturing processes by resin transfer molding. We are revisiting the main technological but also scientific issues as the ones related to the identification of the preform permeability, the control and optimization issues for industrial applications, and in particular in the aeronautic ones.
