Abstract:
Various systems, processes, and techniques may be used for producing a long modular window assembly for an aircraft. In particular implementations, a long modular window assembly may, among other things, include a frame, a motor, and a shade. The frame may include an inner shell and an outer shell. The inner shell may have a lens opening, and the outer shell an opening but no lens. The frame may have a frame interior. A lens may be provided for engagement to the lens opening of the inner shell. A multiplicity of brackets may attach the frame to engage the assembly to a side wall, typically curved, of an aircraft interior. An electric motor may engage the frame in the frame interior along the frame. A first shade is provided with a shade rail. The shade and the shade rail are dimensioned for receipt into the interior of the frame.
