ABSTRACT:
A window for an aircraft cabin has a first pane (3) with a high fatigue strength on the inside facing the cabin and a second pane (4) with a lower fatigue strength smaller than the first fatigue strength on the outside facing the atmosphere. The space (3A) between the window panes (3, 4) is sealed but connected through a pipe to an air pressure controller responsive to the atmospheric pressure. The pressure controller may be an air pump (12) or variable volume chambers (19, 20) for keeping the pressure in the space between the panes at the prevailing atmospheric pressure without actually venting the space to the atmosphere.
