Why Aircraft Windows Have Rounded Corners | The Engineering Behind Safer Airplane Design

Presented in my own voice, this aviation feature explains why passenger aircraft windows are generally designed with curved rather than sharp corners. Sharp corners can concentrate mechanical stress, while rounded shapes help distribute it more evenly around the opening. Aircraft structures must withstand repeated pressure changes during flights, making careful design essential. Learn how engineers evaluate materials, structural loads, and fatigue during aircraft development. The video reveals how a small design detail contributes to long-term structural reliability.
