Abstract

In this chapter, the parameters affecting the design of the windshield constructions of the aircraft in the “community aircraft” status are discussed. In the analyses, deformations that may occur under different conditions were examined by using existing constructions for pilot window design in side-by-side aircraft. In the analysis, the bird strike in the glass construction with a layered structure is modelled with ANSYS-LS Dyna, and the total amount of deformation that may occur in different geometries is discussed. Besides, the solution of the problem with the TRIZ approach is discussed, and the solutions proposed in the analysis made according to the area of the fixed body in the pressure-stress recovery property condition are evaluated, and the use of transparent wood material on the outer surface of the glass is evaluated. According to this approach, the analyses were repeated for glass and transparent wood, and it was found that there could be a significant reduction in total deformation. In addition, it was concluded that the transparent wooden structure could allow for a larger glass construction due to its thermal properties.
