Abstract: A flexible panel has an area, a lateral direction, and a longitudinal direction. The flexible panel includes a plurality of panel layers attached on top of each other. Each of the plurality of panel layers has an area, and at least some of the plurality of panel layers include a plurality of fibers encapsulated in a binder material in a fiber orientation. In some aspects, the flexible panel includes a rigid zone having a rigid zone flexibility and a flex zone having a flex zone flexibility different from the rigid zone flexibility. In some cases, at least one of the plurality of panel layers or the fiber orientation of the panel layers is different between the rigid zone and the flex zone.
