Why do you suppose that airplane windows are smaller than bus windows?
I suppose they're smaller because they have to endure harsh and extended periods of change in pressure that windows on a bus don't. I suppose that to make an airplane window as large as a bus window that could endure the pressures, the window would have to be made out of either a very heavy material, or a very expensive material, which in both cases would make them prohibitive for installing on an airplane.
Is an airplane a material that travels?
An airplane is material constructed into a flying machine that travels.

Why are airplane windows curved?
Why are airplane windows curved? A: This Q is about windows that are NOT flat. Usually curved windows are designed to fit the shape of the airplane so as make the airplane more aerodynamic and not be boxy. Why are airplane windows rounded on the corners? A: One of the first British jets began to crash for no reason. This airplane, the Comet, had large square windows. The investigation discovered that the airplane cracked open at the corners of the windows. This was about the time that engineers began to understand the phenomna of Fatigue. Their tests showed that the corners of the windows resulted in higher stresses and it fatigued the metal. They redeisgned the windows to be rounded and it reduced the stresses and no more planes crashed. Sharp corners in holes of any surface that is carrying a load will increase the stresses. If the corner is changed to a curved edge, then the stresses are lowered. Think of stress as a flow of forces and when it comes to a sharp corner, the flow can't go around the corner.
