Increasing commercial and regional aircraft delivery, high growth of wide-body aircraft, and technological advancement are the key drivers of the aerospace windows and windshields market.

The aerospace industry keeps on looking for advancements in technology to improve existing products with the purpose of providing a better customer experience during travel. Most of the aircraft platforms have acrylic-based windows in their flight deck or aircraft cabin, but this trend has started to change with the commencement of the most advanced next-generation B787 Dreamliner aircraft. The B787 Dreamliner uses dimmable windows in the aircraft cabin supplied by Gentex Automotive. Gentex Automotive leveraged its proprietary electrochromic technology and worked with PPG Aerospace Transparencies Division to develop dimmable windows for B787’s aircraft cabin. These dimmable windows are very interactive and smart and allow the passengers to control the amount of light entering the aircraft cabin. The passengers can dim the light to five different levels using a switch located next to the windows. The aircraft flight crew can also control all of the windows in the passenger cabin at the touch of a switch. Another advantage of these windows is the reduction in transmission of UV and infrared radiations.
