Why do ships have cicular windows,why not square ones?
In: Physics
Other people have already given great answers but if you want to do a bit more reading on this subject search up the DeHavilland Comet crashes, which were caused by fatigue cracks resulting from square windows.
Interesting anecdotes, I actually studied Aircraft Engineering at the University that originally started as DeHavilland’s technical college where they trained new engineers. So they were the ones responsible for the design that caused the crashes and were the first to identify the causes. Surfice to say, this was a big topic that was covered in my degree…
