FIELD: aviation.
SUBSTANCE: aircraft (AC) deformable window assembly comprises the first panel and the second panel spaced from the first one. The first panel has the first surface and the second surface. In the first state, in which there is no pressure difference between the first surface and the second surface, the first panel has the first shape in cross section. In the second state, in which a pressure difference exists between the first surface and the second surface, the first panel has an outwardly curved shape. At the same time, there is a gradient coating on the surface of the first panel, which thickness on the periphery is greater than in the center. The first shape in the cross section of the first panel is flat, or curved outwardly, or curved inwardly.
EFFECT: improved aerodynamics and reduced aerodynamic drag.
