PPG Aerospace introduces new-design windshield for Hawker 800 series aircraft

PPG Industries’ aerospace transparencies group has received Parts Manufacturer Approval for its new-design glass-faced acrylic windshields for Hawker 800 series business jets, including the Hawker 750, 800, 800XP, 800 (U-125A), 850XP, 900XP and 1000 aircraft. According to Mark Hood, PPG Aerospace global director for general aviation transparencies, the glass-faced acrylic windshields offer superior scratch, abrasion and chemical resistance over the previous all-acrylic design. The new-design windshields have a better, more reliable anti-ice heating system, higher visible light transmittance and improved precipitation-static drain.
