Cockpit Windows

My apologies if you consider this has been posted to the wrong thread, but I have a question that popped into my head the other night afted one to many beers and you may be able to help.

Cockpit windows - how are they held shut?

Probably the most memorable pictures were of the Union Jack being waved out of the window of Concorde recently. Presumably you need a bit more than a couple of wing nuts to keep a window closed and airtight at 1,200 mph?

Many thanks

Morrissey
