Clear view – Aircraft glazing
Big part of the fascination in flying goes down to some overwhelming sights of the world. Good sight however is for pilots a security criteria too. As a matter of fact: those who take off, should look through brilliant transparencies.
For more than 50 years we have been manufacturing first class aircraft glazing and helicopter transparencies from Plexiglas®. Optical criteria such as material inclusions and distortion are decisive and therefore evaluated in every phase of production. The aircraft industry relies on our quality.
For aircraft interior equipement we process flame retardant material, clear or opaque, that complies with the high security requirements in aviation. Big series are manufactured efficiently in partly automized processes. Smaller series or prototypes become affordable by selection of appropriate tooling and manufacturing procedures.

Sliding Window
The bad weather sliding window was developed by Josef Weiss Plastic GmbH and caused a revolution on the aircraft market. It can be mounted in basically each type of glazing, even retrofitting is possible. The window can colour-match your tinted canopy. The guiding rails are always clear.
Dimensions of window: approx. 160 x 115 mm
Length of rails: approx. 355 mm
The window is available in two variations:
- with pop-out window (approx. 50 x 50 mm) or
- without pop-out window
Revolving Pop-Out Window
The revolving pop-out window is a simple way to ventilate your aircraft. Mounting is quick and easy. The diameter of the window is approx. 83 mm. This window is only available from clear material. It is the recommended window for straight or slightly bent canopies, which are between 1.5 and 5 mm thick.
Photo Window
The photo window is a higher variation of the standard sliding window. This window provides more space for a camera and hence allows for better photo shooting. Dimensions of window: approx. 160 mm wide x 230 mm high.
Aircraft glazing is manufactured in our facilities from material that was especially designed for aviation purposes.
The material is checked according to optical criteria for distortion and material inclusions.
At the same time the high-quality Plexiglas® protects from dangerous UV radiation.
A big advantage for man and machine. The UV part of global radiation is transmitted by approx. 1% only.
This exceeds the requirements of today’s aviation standards.
A canopy made of 3mm thick material of this kind provides an amount of protection that can only be achieved with standard Plexiglas® of 20mm thickness.

Fly-Away-Set
Light scratches can be removed easily by polishing.
Maintenance Set for Acrylic Glass
The Fly-Away-Set you are holding in hands is a combination of special products, which each complies with the high standards of the aviation industry. It is designed to help you remove signs of use from the acrylic glass.
Please refere to each user manual for instructions how to use the products properly.
One important note: In order to achieve the best possible results, first wash the acrylic glass thoroughly with plenty of water (mixed with a dash of washing-up liquid) using a new, soft sponge. Then rinse with plenty of clear water. By the washing step you make sure that all the dirt is removed from the transparency. Once you have polished the transparency, repeat the washing and use at last the Werra Clean Cockpit & Windshield Protector, which makes the results perfect and additionally provides protection from static. At the same time a water repellent effect is created and water does not leave any marks.
Take your time for the entire process, to achieve the best possible result.
