Aviation
Aircraft glazing was one of the first applications for cast PLEXIGLAS®. It offers outstanding optical properties, is lightweight, resists temperature changes and shows unsurpassed weather resistance. PLEXIGLAS® has excellent mechanical properties, is easy to form and polish and thus the ideal product for glazing applications in the aviation industry. The product has gained an excellent reputation both in civil and military aviation over the course of the decades.
Helicopters
PLEXIGLAS® GS 245 has been the selected material for this application for many years. Its unsurpassed properties in this field are excellent, distortion-free optics, maximum transmission combined with UV protection for the pilot, and low weight combined with high rigidity.
