title: Windshield optics.
abstract: Windshield design involves compromises among mechanical, aerodynamic, aesthetic, thermal, and safety requirements, yet the windshield must be considered as an optical element. Four types of optical errors to be controlled by proper design are discussed, viz., astigmatism, binocular differential deviation of the line of sight, relative angular acceleration of image elements, and ghost images. Empirical limiting values for the last three and procedures for their control are given.
