The composite parts include a plurality of plies of composite material. At least one ply is a hybrid ply. The hybrid ply is defined by a plurality of distinct ply tiles, and at least one distinct ply tile in the plurality of distinct ply tiles defines at least one ply tile property that differs from a corresponding ply tile property of at least one other distinct ply tile in the plurality of distinct ply tiles. The methods include selecting at least one distinct ply tile and positioning the at least one distinct ply tile. The methods also include selecting at least one other distinct ply tile and positioning the at least one other distinct ply tile. The systems include systems that define the composite parts and/or perform the methods.
