В России разработали суперстекло для локомотивов и военных истребителей

It can withstand impacts from stones, shells, and shots from an air gun

The Russian ONPP "Tekhnologiya" named after Romashin has developed a new technology for glazing trains and military aircraft. It is already being used on fifth-generation Su-57 fighters.

The resulting glazing can withstand impacts from weights, hammers, bottles, metal projectiles, and air guns.

Glazing products are made of 8 mm sheet monolithic polycarbonate. For at least twenty years ahead, this is the most modern glazing technology for transport.

This technology for creating glass from polycarbonate is owned by several countries in Europe, the USA, and China, and, of course, Russia. Our difference is that we know how to make glazing products from sheet monolithic polycarbonate. All other countries do this by injection molding, which is very expensive and laborious.

Earlier, scientists at "Tekhnologiya" developed a nano-coating for aircraft windows that protects pilots from radiation from onboard equipment and the sun. It reduces electromagnetic radiation by 250 times and is 500 times thinner than a human hair.
