The impact property and residual flexural property of three-dimensional (3D) five-directional braided carbon/glass hybrid epoxy composites were studied. Four kinds of arrangement for carbon fiber and glass fiber in the axial yarn were designed. Taking pure carbon fiber composites (C/Ca) as the control, the rest of arrangements were that glass fiber and carbon fiber alternately arranged at the width direction (C/G1), glass fiber and carbon fiber alternately arranged at the thickness direction (C/G2), and only glass fiber appeared at the axial yarn (C/G3). Results showed that the C/G2 composite has higher impact energy absorption capacity, and the C/G1 composite has higher impact stress. The flexural properties of C/Ca composite are the best and that of C/G3 composite are the worst before impacting. This study is helpful for the structural design of composites in specific occasions.
