Glass
Used in cockpit windows and passenger windows (often as part of laminated composites).
| Anti-Reflective Coated Glass | Glass with specialized coatings, applied to cockpit displays and windshields to reduce glare and enhance visibility. |
| Borosilicate Glass | A heat and chemical resistant glass used in lighting fixtures (e.g., landing lights) and some instrumentation for its thermal stability and clarity. |
| Chemically Strengthened Glass | A glass treated with ion exchange (e.g., aluminosilicate) used in cockpit displays and touchscreens for its enhanced strength and scratch resistance. |
| Fused Silica Glass | A high-purity, heat-resistant glass employed in optical sensors and engine inspection windows for its transparency and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. |
| Laminated Glass | A multi-layered glass with plastic interlayers used in cockpit windshields and passenger windows for its strength, impact resistance, and safety (e.g., prevents shattering) |
| Sapphire Glass (Synthetic Sapphire) | Employed in high-end optical sensors, camera lenses, and scratch-resistant cockpit display covers due to superior scratch resistance and clarity. |
| Soda-Lime Glass | Cost-effective and widely produced, this basic glass type is occasionally used in non-critical interior panels or galley items despite its lower thermal and impact resistance compared to specialized alternatives. |
| Tempered Glass | A heat-treated, toughened glass applied in interior partitions and galley equipment for its durability and resistance to thermal stress. |
