Is there a special name for the pane of glass on the front of an airplane (the one in the cockpit, where you can see where the plane is going), or am I just looking for something that doesn’t exist?
(it’s not quite for a plane, it’s for a spaceship, but for the life of me I can’t figure out the word)
“For 50 years, L.P. Aero Plastics has been the worlds leading wholesale manufacturer of FAA-PMA aircraft windshields and windows for the general aviation market.”
Found a few similar ones… seems boring, but accurate.
Windshield feels weird, but Doug is right: it’s what they call it on the space shuttle…
Thanks everyone!
(and yeah, Jeff, definitely sounds boring… I need to make up a better vocabulary for my spaceships :=) )

It’s called a windshield even on the space shuttle: http://spie.org/x648.html?product_id=212574
