Cabin window design

摘要

Due to the increased flight envelope of Gulf stream V (GV) aircraft and the industry-wide problems with crazing of structural acrylic transparencies, a redesign of the cabin windows was undertaken. The primary goals of this effort were to develop a cabin window that remains condensation-free in all operating conditions, has improved service life, retains the size and shape of the classic Gulf stream cabin window, and meets all current U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Joint Aviation Authority (JAA) certification requirements. Cost and weight, as well as structural interchangeability with earlier Gulfstream aircraft, were also considered.
