A windshield architecture with window including at least one ply of material that is transparent and of mineral origin and having a peripheral edge. At least one of the mineral material plies of the window is coated with a coating layer of viscoelastic transparent organic material over an entire surface of the play, including the peripheral edge.

A method for assembling aircraft panels by welding improves the flexibility thereof. Panels are butted together along longitudinal joining lines and fixed to one another via their longitudinal edges by welding without the longitudinal ends of their welded edges being connected to one another. Longitudinal hoops are fixed to partially cover the concave surface of the panels at least partially at the ends. The absence of welding at the ends introduces the desired flexibility. The disclosure also covers the fuselage portions formed by assembling panels according to this method and the aircraft including such portions.

An aircraft canopy includes a window pane, a frame from a primary structure of the aircraft, and a flange fastened to the frame with fastening screw, characterized in that: the flange is secured to the peripheral edge of the window pane by engaging of at least one plate of the flange between plies of the window pane, so that flange and window pane form an all in one-piece assembly, at each fastening screw, a load-transferring and distributing member is arranged between an outer surface of the flange and the fasting screw, a cavity being provided in the flange for receiving the load-transferring and distributing member, the member having a recess for receiving the screw head.
