...so use acrylic, which isn't. That's what most aircraft "glass" is made of anyway, unless it's in an area that needs to be particularly impact resistant, or needs significant heating.

Perhaps I misunderstood the question then.

Probably not, but I'm just assuming the o/p was using "glass" as a generic term for a transparent material.

Yes he was.

I'm thinking it's not needed because aircraft are usually built to be working things and not for pleasure, as pointed out, any viewing is done by camera and can be recorded. The question arose as I used one recently purely for pleasure, but as we flew low over my house I couldn't see it.....
