Injection-molded window panel and related methods

摘要

A window panel (20) adapted for installation relative to a structure (12). The panel includes a single piece of generally transparent injection-molded material (28) configured to span one or more openings (32) in the structure. The panel (20) has panel attachment inserts (44) for attaching the panel relative to the structure. The inserts are embedded in the material alongside at least one edge of the panel. The panel has a curvature that essentially continues a curvature of the structure surrounding the opening(s) when the panel is installed relative to the structure. This panel can be single-pane and can provide an essentially continuous window along an aircraft fuselage.
