Abstract
An aircraft windscreen (100) includes: a main body; and a dovetail shaped portion (120) formed in the main body at a periphery thereof. Suitably, the windscreen (100) is secured within an opening (192) of an aircraft frame or body (190). In this regard, the aircraft has: a body (190) constructed of a first material and including an opening (192) therein; a windscreen (100) constructed of a second material and arranged within the opening (192) of the body (190); and a retaining member (400) attached to the body (190) and/or fuselage (300) by a set of fasteners (402) so as to secure the windscreen (100) thereto. Suitably, the retaining member (400) cooperates with the body and/or fuselage (300) to form a channel (200) in which a dovetailed shaped portion (120) formed at a periphery of the windscreen (100) is seated so as to be retained without through holes being formed in the windscreen (100).
