In the last decade, Study on the use of natural fibers as synthetic substitute materials or green polymer composites is growing. The growth of green polymer composites has had a significant impact on polymer composite research and innovation. This rapid growth provides advantages over low-cost synthetic fiber composites and reduces adverse impacts on the environment. Because of its potential, this material is applied in various engineering fields, including in the aerospace engineering. In recent years, various improvements have been made to natural fiber composite materials to improve physical, mechanical and chemical properties. The aim of this review is to highlight trends in the use of natural fiber polymer composites applied to the aerospace engineering. This review article explains the latest research activities regarding green polymer composite fabrication, advantages of green polymer composites, and applications in the aerospace engineering
