Why is glass so used in aeronautics?

Glass is a preferred material in aeronautics due to its many qualities. It offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, pressure and temperature variations, while remaining stable and unalterable over time, unlike plastic. Its transparency ensures optimal visibility, essential in cockpits and for avionics equipment. Additionally, glass is an eco-friendly and 100% recyclable material, making it a sustainable choice. Thin chemically reinforced glass combines lightness and strength, offering mechanical properties close to those of plastic, while maintaining the reliability of traditional glass.
