The usage of natural fibres as a reinforcement in material composites has increased over time. This utilization had been applied widely in several regions of the world and has already reached maturity in terms of technology, infrastructure and cost competitiveness. Aerospace industries were looking forwards on fully utilized their structural components by using composites material towards environmentally friendly solutions. The application of hybrid composites can be utilized by reducing the usage of synthetic fibre and replacing them with natural fibre. Nonetheless, the applications of composites in aircraft’s structure is tends to develop, especially the use of hybrid composites for fuselage which has many conflicting requirements. Several issues are highlighted in this research such as the selection of natural fibre that suits the usage in aerospace structural applications and the most suitable weight percentage combinations of individual fibre in hybrid composites that approaching the original constituents. Hence, the objectives of this research can be summarised as follows: the mechanical properties of a hybrid composite of glass/ kenaf fibre were investigated, especially with regards to tensile strength and low velocity impact (LVIT) resistance.
