Zusammenfassung: | A substantially strong, lightweight load bearing window for use in a mobile platform, for example, an aircraft. The window includes a rim portion (18) having a carbon reinforced resin structure and a transparent portion (20) having a fiberglass reinforced resin structure. A plurality of holes are formed in the rim portion for enabling a plurality of connectors (22) to be inserted therethrough. The rim portion has a smaller cross sectional area (i.e., thickness) than the transparent portion such that the rim portion is adapted to fit behind a skin (14) of the aircraft. The connector fix the window to the skin of the aircraft. The window effectively forms a strong, structurally integral portion of the skin. |
