Abstract

An aircraft windshield that improves pilot and co-pilot's perception of the outside world. The windshield includes a transparent panel held inside a structure of the aircraft, in which the upper part and the lower part are bridged so that the loads applied to the panel are (at least partially) diverted. Due to part of the loads applied on the panel being diverted, it is possible to provide a larger window panel than currently available that offers better visibility to the outside.
