Abstract
Device for attachment of an aircraft windshield.The device comprises a monoblock flange (14). The flange is fixed to the structure (12) of the aircraft by screws (16), so as to trap a peripheral edge of the windshield glass (10) between the flange and the structure. A dry monoblock seal (18) surrounds the peripheral edge of the windshield, such that the seal alone provides leak tightness between the inside and the outside of the aircraft. Preferably, the screws (16) are in contact with the flange (14) through plane surfaces perpendicular to the center lines of the screws. At least one second dry monoblock seal (20) may also be placed between the flange (14) and the structure (12).
