Boeing 747 cockpit windows don't open.
IIRC in the UK type certificate it says "certified on the basis of equivalent safety".
I always wondered what that meant.

However, opening the window may not have helped. In the 1973 Varig B707 crash near Paris I believe they had the cockpit windows open but they still could not see much.
