Abstract

A transparent skin panel for use in a mobile platform having a plurality of metal sheets (26). A fiber reinforced resin (36) at least partially surrounds the plurality of metal sheets (26). The fiber reinforced resin (36) is transparent. A cutout (32) is formed within each of the plurality of metal sheets (26), which is filled by the transparent resin (36) during the manufacturing process. The cutout (32) corresponds to a window (16) in the transparent skin panel (10). The transparent skin panel thus eliminates the need for a bulky and heavy frame structure that has traditionally been employed on aircraft, and which has heretofore limited the size of windows used on an aircraft. The present invention thus enables larger windows to be incorporated on aircraft without increasing the weight or cost associated with such windows.
