1. A method for producing an armored wall for an aircraft, the method comprising:
determining an available thickness of the armored wall;
determining an allowable areal mass of the armored wall;
determining an available space for a wall deformation due to ballistic impact;
retrieving a parameterization of a plurality of armoring materials, wherein the parameterization comprises a parameter for each of a plurality of material characteristics for each of the plurality of armoring materials;
comparing the available wall thickness, the allowable areal mass, and the available space for a wall deformation with the parameter of the parameterization of the plurality of armoring materials;
selecting one of the armoring materials based on the comparing; and
manufacturing the armored wall by supplementing the one of the armoring materials to a basic wall structure.
