Airliners With A Center Cockpit Window

[Yellow_Ribbon]

Hi Guys,

I've always thought that the center cockpit window (if that's what they're called) was a bit odd and reminds me of having a center tooth. Here is a list of the ones I can find, please show me if there are any more:

AN-24


B377


CV-880


CV-990


DC-8


DC-9/MD-80/MD-90


Trident: Not just the window...


Constellation/ Super Connie


Il-76: Does the eyebrow count?



Nord 262


Tu-104


Tu-114


Tu-154


Viscount


Yak-42

Cant say that I ever noticed that even though I must have seen Viscounts, tridents and DC9s on hundreds of occasions! Must say they do look a little 'awkward' Love the offsett nosewheel on the trident, gives it character, something that IMHO the current crop of identikit twin jets that dominate the market lack.

Yes, that is pretty interesting about the Trident. I wonder if turning on the ground felt any different. Then if the nodewheel was on the centreline, it would have appeared off-centre from the cockpit.
Interesting design decision.

What an interesting observation re: the center window. I have never thought of it!
