Depends on the year of manufacturing, speed of aircraft , purpose of window and desired shape. WW1 = Glass, WW2 = Acrylic, laminated glass, 1960's Laminated plastics and polycarbonate, Now special laminated blends of glass and plastics and transparent aluminum, chemically speaking.
What else can I help you with?
What materials are used to make aircraft bodies?
aluminium alloy
Why do you have to open the windows on a plane?
Opening windows on a plane is not necessary because commercial aircraft windows are designed to remain closed during flight. The windows are made of strong materials to withstand the high pressure and altitude changes experienced during flight. Opening windows could compromise the safety and structural integrity of the aircraft.
What is the alloy used to make the main aircraft body on an aeroplane?
The main alloy used to make the aircraft body is aluminum alloy. This material is favored for its lightweight properties, high strength, and corrosion resistance, which are essential qualities for constructing aircraft. Other materials such as titanium and composite materials are also used in certain parts of the aircraft body.
How are aircraft windows made?
Aircraft windows are made of Plexiglas. They are triple layered so air can flow between the layers for defogging.

What materials were originally used to make the airplane?
Men tried all kinds of materials, but the first aircraft that flew were all built of light, strong wood covered with very light fabric, (usually muslin).
Do airplane windows open?
Yes airplane windows open. On passenger jets most windows in the cabin are not designed to open. There are normally two windows in the flight deck that open. On small personal aircraft the windows are normally designed to be opened. Windows can be opened in flight as long as the cabin is not pressurized. Normally pressurization of the cabin happens in larger aircraft and above 10 000 feet where oxygen is not as plentiful as it is on the ground. When flying that high aircraft are normally pressurized and so that the conditions of hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain) do not affect the crew or passengers. Windows are not designed to be opened at high altitiudes and likely can not be opened due to the pressure asserted on the aircraft's frame. Small areas where air can escape from a pressurized cabin, such as a window, can have dire consequences if the difference in pressure inside and outside of the aircraft cause a rapid cabin decompression.
