Abstract

An aircraft window darkening system includes a movable slide that darkens an aircraft window when in a closed position and does not darken the aircraft window when in an open position. The darkening system also includes a motor which is coupled to the slide in order to move the slide. The motor may be attached to a window frame of an aircraft window. The slide may have a handle for moving the slide. The motor may be disposed behind a region covered by a frame cover and behind a holding ring, so that the motor is accessible from the aircraft cabin when the holding ring is removed.
