<p>The instant invention generally relates to a double-paned window (10) for an aircraft (20) providing greater passenger visibility and overall area than known-in-the art window construction. Specifically, the invention provides for a pair of generally parallel longitudinally extending trusses (30) intersected by a plurality of spaced laterally extending interior (58) and end posts (60) to provide a strong, lightweight structure for an aircraft window. The structural members can be comprised of composite material or known-in-the art aircraft alloy materials that are integral with and taper into the fuselage skin. A plurality of rabbets (34, 36) disposed around the perimeter of both the horizontal trusses (30) and vertical posts (50, 60) engage both a continuous interior window (80) and a plurality of exterior windows (70) to prohibit window blowout.</p> |
