PPG has a long history of supplying flight deck windows with long service life and lightweight structural designs that provide the minimum operational costs to operators and airlines and provide for optimum aircraft design.

Airbus A220
PPG's aerospace business is a leading and experienced source of original equipment, replacement windshields and side cockpit windows for the Airbus A220 single-aisle jetliner family. Using new, proprietary technologies, PPG has designed the windshields and side cockpit windows for best field performance, reducing maintenance downtime and related costs, and lessen the environmental impact of aging and removed transparencies.

Airbus - A300 / A310 / A330 / A340
A300 / A310 / A330 / A340 windows used in transparency systems where designs require high strength to weight ratio, high performance, and long service life. Additionally, it offers greater damage tolerance and scratch resistance as a result of its high surface hardness. The unique properties of Herculite® II chemically strengthened glass allow lightweight cockpit windows to be designed for structural, load bearing applications. For these applications, aircraft loads are transferred through the cockpit window, thus allowing for reduced weight in the fuselage structure.

Airbus - A318 / A319 / A320 / A321
The all glass design for the Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 features chemically strengthened glass, advanced urethane technology, and ant-ice/anti-fog coatings. The all glass design is based on Herculite® II chemically strengthened glass developed by PPG. Herculite® II is extensively used in commercial, regional, and general aviation aircraft. Herculite® II offers exceptional strength, excellent optical characteristics, and high strength to weight ratio compared to thermally tempered glass.
