Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to fuel tanks for aviation, and particularly to construction of rigid tank walls (100) that have been found useful in absorbing energy of a magnitude expected during a crash. In some aspects, the rigid tank wall construction includes particular materials, such as a thermoplastic resin matrix. According to the invention, the rigid tank wall construction includes a twill weave pattern.
