This paper highlights the experience as related to the various types of windows installed on all types of aircraft operated within Lufthansa, which are 15 B747, 14 DC10, 11 A300, 7 B707, 34 B727, 42 B737. After great improvements during 1970 to 1977 a remarkable deterioration in performance of cabin and cockpit windows is realized. The most important problems encountered are: Crazing, inplane cracking, deformation on acrylic windows, vinyl cracks, arcing, heating system failures, chips, cracks and distorted vision on multilayer windows, mainly glass windows.
