Abstract

A method of installing a window panel in an aircraft. The method includes connecting upper and lower ends of the window panel with upper and lower longerons of the aircraft, and connecting a side end of the window panel with a hoop frame of the aircraft. This method makes it possible to eliminate heavy window support structures and to provide continuous hoop frame support members in an aircraft fuselage.
