Why do airliner cockpit windows have heaters?
The answer is to keep the windows warm enough and flexible enough so they
don't shatter if they hit a bird.


Why do they run them at altitudes that birds don't fly?

If Mythbusters had cooled that side window to -50C, it would have
disintegrated when the bullet hit it.
