Abstract: The knowledge of mechanical properties of reinforced hybrid composites is very abundant, even though this could be one of the critical issues for many practical applications. This paper has the detailed study and a road to know more about the flax/glass fiber composites and its review on the appliance, property oriented with some of the special properties of the fiber. However, the occurrence of flax fiber is in the cooler regions of western country the worth of flax was more in the replacement of synthetic fibers as a replica of its own property in the application purposes Therefore, the current study was conducted to investigate the strength and performance of glass and flax fiber reinforced hybrid composite by a comprehensive set of experiments. The method of preparation to prepare the composite is by compression molding technique. The final result conclude that (48%flax/32% glass) has maximum tensile strength with the sample id 5,(50%flax/50%glass) has maximum flexural strength for the sample id 6 and the impact strength is for the ample id 7 (24%flax/56%glass) fiber composites.
