- Summary
- COI synopsis: Toughened glass has been around since 1640, but never quite like this. Secret processes produce cockpit windows for jets capable of withstanding the impact at 425 mph of flying birds. Special guns fire dead chickens at the glass under test conditions. This certainly has impact.
