Abstract: The present invention provides a sandwich structure with a core element in honeycomb form and outer layers with carbon fiber and glass fiber layers, the glass fiber layers being applied to the outer sides of the sandwich structure.

Abstract: An airplane door window of a passenger plane, includes an outer pane, an inner pane, an intermediate pane situated parallel between the outer pane and inner pane and designed as an optical lens body for the inspection of impact surfaces for emergency slides, portable staircases or boarding fingers. The outer pane and the inner pane are spaced apart from each other, arranged substantially parallel to each other in a continuous window gasket, and form an intermediate space. The intermediate pane is inserted into a continuous groove of the window gasket, and extends essentially parallel to the outer pane and the inner pane over a partial area of the intermediate space.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle window consisting of a transparent composite material, wherein the composite material comprises fibres and a matrix material such that the vehicle window is capable of withstanding structural loads occurring in the window region and can substantially provide the window function even in spite of damage to the vehicle window (damage-tolerant), the fibres and the matrix material being transparent and substantially having the same refractive index. The invention proposes vehicle windows which are damage-tolerant, load bearing, cost-saving, easy to handle and require less installation space than conventional vehicle windows.
