I'm starting to wonder if there isn't a real and possibly fundamental problem with the B878 windscreen. Is there a design issue with the transparency itself, or a production issue? Is there a design issue with the window frame, or a production issue? Is there an installation process design issue?
I wonder how long before the NTSB or the FAA begins to investigate what seems to me to be an unaccountably high frequency of B787 windscreen failures
