  • Load bearing window
    Patent number: 7028950
    Abstract: A substantially strong, lightweight load bearing window for use in a mobile platform, for example, an aircraft. The window includes a rim portion having a carbon reinforced resin structure and a transparent portion having a fiberglass reinforced resin structure. A plurality of holes are formed in the rim portion for enabling a plurality of connectors 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 of an aircraft, the transparent portion is adapted to be flush with the skin of the aircraft. The connectors fix the window to the skin of the aircraft. The window effectively forms a strong, structurally integral portion of the skin.
