Abstract
An aircraft cockpit window comprises a window pane (12) fitted with a frame (14), and guide rails (16, 18) on which the frame (14) is guided at three points (A, B, C) using two lower sets of rollers (20, 22) and an upper set of rollers (24). All these controls for locking/unlocking and opening the window pane are grouped on a handle (26) articulated on the lower edge of the frame (14), about an axis (28) that is preferably approximately vertical.
