Abstract

A window unit for an aircraft with which individual lighting scenarios can be produced. In addition, an aircraft is equipped with at least one window unit. The window unit includes a window pane, which is coated with an electrically actuatable shading device for reducing incidental light entering through the window page. In addition, the window unit includes a control unit for operating the shading device as well as a lighting device for producing a light effect in the region of the window unit. In this connection, the control unit has an interface via which the control unit is connected to a network system of the aircraft for operation of the shading device. Likewise, the lighting device is coupled with the control unit, so that the lighting device can be operated with the network system of the aircraft via the interface of the control unit.
