The tapered laminate is mostly used in many structural components. Plydrop is the technique used in fabrication of tapered laminate. This technique has received many researchers attention. Although there are some difficulties in dropping some of the plies because the strength of the laminate may affect due to the discontinuity in the laminate. So, the drop must be done such that the strength of the laminate should not affect. In this paper, the two configurations of the tapered laminates are introduced with symmetry along the center such that the laminate is covered with a layer of fiber at above and below of the plate. The tapered composite with two different configurations is fabricated with unidirectional glass fiber and epoxy by using hand layup vacuum bagging process. The mechanical tests such as tensile and flexural tests were done accordingly, and the obtained results indicate that configuration II show better tensile and flexural properties than configuration I.
