A window assembly for an aircraft is provided that includes a windshield, a side window, a post, and an airflow surface. The windshield is oriented toward a front of the aircraft. The side window is oriented toward a side of the aircraft. The post is interposed between the windshield and the side window. The airflow surface is disposed on the post and on an exterior of the aircraft. The airflow surface extends along a length from a leading edge proximate the windshield to a trailing edge proximate the side window, and extends along a height between a top and a bottom. The airflow surface has a first radius of curvature proximate the leading edge and a second radius of curvature proximate the trailing edge, wherein the first radius of curvature is less than the second radius of curvature.
