Construction and Safety Aspects of Glass Used in Aviation Transport

Glass is an essential component of several sectors which significantly form our present-day economy. These include machining, the chemical industry, the electrotechnology industry, construction, the automobile industry, the aviation industry and many others. The aim of this article is to provide some detail about and explain the technology used for manufacturing glass which is subsequently used in the automobile and aviation industries and the specific adaptations which help to improve its characteristics. A general trend is increasing the share of final products having high added value, which is done by finishing glass with special processes of surface modifications, mechanical treatment and thermodynamic processes with targeted special traits, including a wide scale of functional coatings
