DV Windows

A37575 wonders what sort of aircraft we are talking about. His pseudonym is obviously misleading. All the civil (commercial) aircraft I have flown have DV windows as escape routes. On a light note, on a flight on "the gripper", an old granny of a captain remarked
" You do realise, I hope, that the eyebrow sunshade you are using is blocking your escape rope?"
Bemused F/O, peering down at the Med some 6 miles below:
"I don't think it will reach!"
Also, when teaching in the sim I have often been surprised at how many students do not know what DV even stands for.
