  • Patent number: 8292347
    Abstract: A transparent laminated structure having multiple peel-away laminated film layers for protecting windscreens, particularly windscreens of rotary aircraft, from environmental conditions. The laminated structure includes at least one laminated layer wherein each layer includes a film, a bonding layer on a first major side of the film for releaseably attaching the film to either the windscreen or to an adjacent laminated film layer, optionally a conductive material on a second major side of the film for dissipating electrostatic charging in the laminated structure that may occur due to accumulated precipitation static during aircraft fight, and a hard coat layer for protecting the relatively softer film against abrasion. A keyed removal system is provided simplify determining the number of film layers remaining on the windscreen and to aid in the sequential removal of film layers which become degraded below acceptable levels, thereby exposing a subsequent unblemished film layer.
