ABSTRACT:
A window adapted to be integrally formed with a skin of an aircraft having a first transparent fiberglass layer, a second transparent fiberglass layer, and a transparent epoxy layer. The transparent epoxy layer is located between the first and second transparent fiberglass layers. A glass outer-pane is removably coupled to the first transparent fiberglass layer such that the glass outer-pane covers the first transparent fiberglass layer. The first and second transparent fiberglass layers have an index of refraction approximately matching an index of refraction of the transparent epoxy layer. The first and second transparent fiberglass layers are adapted to be integrally formed with the skin of the aircraft.
