NOTES:
- A new and improved cockpit side window in now available for the Global Express fleet.
- The window redesign, introduced on March 29, 2019, is focused on improving resistance to delamination and heat film failure by using the latest technology and materials. The result is an improved heat distribution, with a higher internal adhesion between plies which will both increase the reliability significantly as they are addressing the primary cause of failure.
- New Global Windshield is available for the Global Express fleet which introduce the following improvements:
- Substitute existing Glass Faceply with one made of a more durable material (Herculite® II).
- Add Z-retainer all around the glass to better protect against moisture ingress and subsequent delamination.
- Improve robustness of the temperature sensor design.
- Better P-static tab installation and bushing design.
