A window shade apparatus that is configured to function in an aircraft. In one aspect, the shade apparatus has a frame defining an opening. The frame can vary in size and shape, as it is configured to substantially conform to an interior portion of the fuselage of an aircraft. The opening defined by the frame is, in one aspect, sized to substantially overlay at least one of the windows of the aircraft. Therefore, the frame substantially envelops the window and the opening permits viewing therethrough. The shade apparatus also has a shade that is configured to at least partially cover the opening and a drive mechanism to extend or retract the shade.
