Customer Quotes
To date we have flown over 400 hours cumulative on our aircraft. We have broken four windshields, none of them Mylar.
After more or less 37 flight hours with high speed, high altitude, high temperature, hot sun exposition, sand, dust, rain, icing condition, night condition with NVG,… I can say “that’s great!”
We had 2 aircraft take moderate damage from a mortar impact yesterday (UH-60), and one of them had the windshield shattered. They were at another base and had to fly home. The only thing that kept the windshield from blowing in on the pilot was your Mylar covering. So whether it proves to be worth the time and effort for wear and tear, it definitely helped us in this situation.
Operational assessment of the V3 laminates, on a limited number of HH-60H and MH-60S aircraft, resulted in a 45% reduction in window replacement.
