Why Airplane Windows Are Round ✈️

[00:00:00]Did you know that airplane windows used to be square until the plane started falling out of the sky? In the 1950s, several planes exploded in midair because of their window shape. You see, when a plane flies high, the air pressure inside pushes hard against the walls. On a square window, all that pressure gets trapped in the four sharp corners. This creates stress points that cause the metal to crack and eventually tear the whole plane apart. But by making the windows round, engineers found a way to spread the pressure evenly around the curve. This prevents the metal from [music] breaking, which is why every plane you fly in today has round windows to keep it from exploding.
