Windshield: Difference between revisions

The '''windshield''' or '''windscreen''' of an [[aircraft]], [[automobile]], or [[motorcycle]], is the front [[window]]. Modern windshields are generally made of two sheets of [[curve]]d [[glass]] with a [[plastic]] layer [[laminate]]d between them for safety. Windshields protect the vehicle's occupants from [[wind]], [[temperature]] extremes, and flying [[debris]] such as [[dust]], [[insect]]s, and [[Rock (geology)|rocks]]. Properly installed automobile windshields are also essential to safety; along with the roof of the car, they provide protection in the case of a roll-over accident in the vehicle.
