Eli5: why do planes not have their windshield one the bottom half? 572 viewsJanuary 2, 2024 Question100.55K June 30, 2022 0 Comments If you look at planes they allways have their windshield go from horizon to 45 degrees or more above the horizon. Why is it not the other way around? There is way more to see and be aware of beneath the plane than above. So why do they not do this?
