Abstract
An aircraft in which it is possible to replace windshield panes of the mineral type with windshield panes of the organic type and vice versa, without the frame of the aircraft structure having to be modified. The pane is held in place on the frame by a window pane retainer specific to the pane. The frame has no through-holes opening to the outside of the aircraft for fastening the pane. The window pane retainer specific to a pane of the organic type has pins passing through the acrylic panes. The disclosed embodiments also relate to a method of replacing a pane of a first type with a pane of a second type.
