All aircraft windows are always closed in modern passenger jets. I think you mean the window shades.

They usually close the window shades in order to cut out the lights from outside even at night. Also for international flights, the aircraft can fly into daylight while the passengers are still sleeping during the time that is night for them. So if only the lights were turned down and everyone went to sleep then when the sun came up it would wake most of them before it was time to land.

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.
