PPG Aerospace to Supply Gulfstream Windows and Assemblies for G500 and G600 Jets
10 December 2014
PPG Industries’ aerospace transparencies group has been selected by Gulfstream to supply windshields, side cockpit windows and passenger-cabin window assemblies for the G500™ and G600™ business jets, which will provide superior performance for operators and maximum efficiencies for Gulfstream.
The passenger-cabin windows will use Opticor ™ advanced transparency material to maintain optical clarity and provide a quieter cabin. The equipment has been proven through its use on the Gulfstream G650™ programme.
PPG Aerospace global platform manager for general aviation transparencies Mark Hood said the windshields and windows will offer clean aerodynamics, reliability, acoustic and safety benefits, as well as fuel economies.
