Abstract: In this investigation, the Mechanical valuables of short inconstantly oriented Borassus flabellifer leaf stalk fiber [BFLSF/PPLSF] and carbon fiber strengthened Polyester hybrid composite were predicted based on various weight percentage. The Hybrid composite were fabricated by Resin transfer moulding or compression moulding technique. The durability, bend strength and crash properties of the composite were evaluated. The fractured surface of the hybrid synthesized material were analysed by used Scanning Electron Microscopy [SEM] and also studied the water absorption performance of the fabricated composite. Experimental results were compared with other natural fiber and it has high strength to weight ratio. In future designing and fabrication the Manned and Unmanned Aerial, Marine and Surface Vehicle structures.
