An attempt has been made to summarize the research progress on low velocity drop weight impact properties of textile \nreinforced composites. The paper mainly reports the impact test parameters and textile reinforcement along with matrix, interphase effects, impact failure modes and major evaluation techniques for impact damage analyses such as ultrasonic scanning and retention of strength after impact.
