From the Comet to today, curved windows became a lifesaving lesson in bending stress to human comfort.
Airplane windows are curved to distribute pressure evenly, reducing the chance of shattering under cabin stress.
The oval shape of airplane windows prevents cracks from corners, a trick learned from bridge engineering.
Windows don’t fully seal; tiny pressure differences create a micro-habitat of humidity influencing cabin climate subtly.
Older jet windows used multiple panes to absorb pressure changes, but modern cabins rely on a single pane with smarter strain distribution.
