Or...a TriStar?
No FD windows needed, nor desired, thank you very much.

Now, as to the term 'storm window'...it was coined by a small airplane pilot long ago, who needed to land in a severe rain storm, where visibility was totally obscrued out the front.
On larger transport aircraft (pistons, turbopropellor types) they are referred to as DV (direct vision) windows.

Next question?...
