The correct term for an airplane window is a porthole, the same as for a window on the side of a ship.
Yes
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.
Reinforced glass.
The windshield, the windows? Lol
Windows have to be up for takeoff on an airplane to ensure visibility and communication between passengers and crew, as well as for safety reasons in case of emergencies.
You can't open them to begin with. Most airline windows have a shade that can be pulled down.
Aircraft windows need to resist severe air pressure changes and pressure differential.
To keep the temperature inside the airplane nice.
Airplane windows need to be open during takeoff and landing to allow passengers to see outside and help maintain orientation in case of an emergency evacuation.
Airplane windows have to be open during takeoff to allow passengers and crew to see outside in case of an emergency. This helps them to be aware of their surroundings and follow safety instructions more effectively.
Your body will be in motion while seeing outside the windows of an airplane. Due to the speed of the airplane, you are moving with the aircraft even though you may feel stationary inside the cabin. It is similar to being in a car – your body is in motion along with the vehicle.
