Abstract
A window unit for aircraft that has an outer pane, an inner pane, and a camera. The inner pane is arranged between the outer pane and the camera. In addition, a field of view of the camera is aligned only through a partial area of the inner pane. The inner pane includes an arrangement of light-reflecting inner-pane-internal material, so that incident light rays through the outer pane can be partially guided from a coupling-in point on a first outer side of the inner pane, which faces the outer pane, to a coupling-out point on a second outer side of the inner pane, which faces an interior of an aircraft in which the window unit is arranged and which is located in the partial area of the inner pane. Also, an airport surveillance system for aircraft, and an aircraft.
